While at O'Reilly Graphing Social Patterns East 2008, I heard
Adam Nash of
LinkedIn make the pitch for advertisers and developers. Notable was the fact that LinkedIn acheived a 361% growth rate in the last twelve months. That's more than any of the other social networks. According to Neilson Online, they had 8 million unique visitors in April 2008. See Adam's slideshare presentation for more details.
What's also interesting is that the average household income of a LinkedIn user is greater than those at WSJ.com, Forbes.com or Businessweek. Last fall, I sat on a panel at Office 2.0 with Adam Nash that was moderated by Shel Israel where we all talked about social networks in general. It was good to hear him talk about LinkedIn specifically. More at the
LinkedIn Events Blog.
