Career networking website LinkedIn is adding a member a second as people seek to keep their professional lives separate from private antics they may share at Facebook.
LinkedIn chief executive Jeff Weiner said on November 18 that LinkedIn had 85 million members and was growing faster than ever as the economy recovers and people get back to cultivating connections that could land them better jobs.
Half of LinkedIn members are outside the United States, with China and Brazil among the countries where the social network is seeing its fastest growth, Weiner said during a talk at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco.
