Linkedin 1 3

LinkedIn is a social networking site focused on professional connections and careers, unlike recreational sites like Facebook. It allows users to create profiles summarizing their career experience and skills to connect with others in their industry. Connections are formed when users accept invitation requests. While basic membership is free, premium subscriptions provide additional search capabilities. LinkedIn was founded in 2002 and launched its website the following year, growing slowly at first but gaining popularity after allowing companies to post jobs and search profiles in 2005. It became profitable in 2007 with over 15 million members, and had over 100 million members by its 2011 initial public offering that raised $353 million.
