Yesterday, LinkedIn announced that it had surpassed the 200 million active user mark with members in over 200 countries using the social media platform in 19 languages.
With approximately 172,800 new members joining the service each day, LinkedIn has become the favourite go-to platform for business people around the globe. Immediately following this announcement, LinkedIn’s stock jumped nearly 2% and currently sits at $113.66 per share, at the time of this post.
It’s interesting to see in the InfoGraphic that although North America is their largest market, China tops the list of countries with the most mobile penetration and Turkey on the web.

Pretty cool… I especially like how LinkedIn is catching on in the MENA region:
“Linkedin has five million members in the Middle East and North Africa, out of which one million is from the UAE…” http://gulfnews.com/business/technology/linkedin-surpasses-1m-users-in-uae-1.1130626
Anyone have better data?
We can’t say for sure, without an interjection from LinkedIn. What we do know is that LinkedIn is sinking their teeth into the region with their new offices in Dubai. A physical presence is often followed by events, innovation, and assimilation of the local community.
Unlike the Borg, this is a good thing in my eyes.
Don’t you just love InfoGraphic? I certainly do!
Do you use LinkedIn? What do yo use it for? Referrals? Career hunting?
I find I’m on it all day. And where Facebook is a distraction, LinkedIn brings us great contacts, business opportunities, and clients.
