    linkedIn Fortune 500Sometime last year, we reported that LinkedIn has over 50 million users and is adding new users at an astonishing rate of 1 member per second.

    After ten months, LinkedIn has grown even stronger. To date, it has over 70 million members across 200 countries worldwide. Web statistics are pretty awesome; with the site accumulating more than half a million visits daily.

    According to HubSpot, executives from all Fortune 500 companies are LinkedIn members and half of its total users are business decision makers. This set of data highlights LinkedIn as the world’s undisputed professional social-networking site. It is a perfect site for both B2B marketers and headhunting professionals.

So, whether you’re an employee (for resume building) or employer (for hiring and advertising), LinkedIn certainly has a part to play in your career. Enjoy the rest of the infographic below.
