Wow, I just accessed the site to check for myself and in two featured bands, Morcheeba and Death Cab for Cutie, the latest comments from fans are, respectively, from 4 and 2 months ago. Surprisingly the layout is actually pretty good now.
Also, one of the link's URL is wrong. Probably just here in Brazil, but it is: "whttp" instead of just "http"
Is that just pure user numbers, or percentage increase over a period of time?. Considering LinkedIn has a few years head start over Twitter I wouldn't be surprised at the user count. But if we are talking current growth, that is kind of shocking really.
What's more interesting to me about this graph is that for all the supposed dominance of Twitter, it's actually still less influential than MySpace if this graph is accurate.
Most professionals I know have a LinkedIn profile. In terms of active usage however, I'm not entirely sure that many visit the site regularly themselves.
Recruiters and people from other organizations are probably more liable to view profiles than the users themselves. Is this a bad thing or any different from a rolodex or business card?
Social network is a broad term. I don't think the demographics of myspace and linkedin are related, in the sense that users dont jump from one to the other, so the title is misleading.
Anyone else not fully convinced by Comscore's numbers or traffic data from any other site like Alexa, Compete, Quantcast, etc?
These are estimates until they actually have tracking pixels on the sites they measure.
I do think LinkedIn is making considersable progress and would like to see sites like Monster and CareerBuilder (relics of the dot com era) put to rest.
