LinkedIn Reaches 200 Million Member Mark

imageOn Wednesday, LinkedIn announced that it now has over 200 Million Registered Users.

In the blog post reporting the milestone, Senior VP of Products and User Experience Deep Nishar says that the business networking site has “representation in more than 200 countries and territories” and that they are serving their “members in 19 languages around the world”.

LinkedIn has also created an infographic breaking down their 200 million members into interesting and easily-digested statistics.

For example, the five countries with the most members on LinkedIn are as follows:
  1. United States Of America, 74 million
  2. India, 18 million
  3. Brazil, 11 million
  4. United Kingdom, 11 million
  5. Canada, 7 million
Richard Branson is still the most followed person on LinkedIn with over 1,230,000 followers, having surpassed the 1 million mark in late November. Barack Obama (617,000), Deepak Chopra MD (373,000), Anthony Robbins (258,000) and Jeff Weiner (240,000) make up the rest of the top five.

The infographic also shows the top five most represented industries on LinkedIn:
  1. IT and IT Services, 4 million
  2. Finance, 2.03 million
  3. Higher education, 1.95 million
  4. Computer Software, 1.65 million
  5. Telecommunications, 1.59 million.
LinkedIn’s membership continues to grow, with 172,800 new registrations every second. However, LinkedIn does not say whether these 200 million members are frequently active on the site, making it difficult to compare with Facebook’s 1 billion monthly active members.
