History of LinkedIn

2003 May

LinkedIn was officially founded in 2003. The site launched on May 5th (affectionately referred to by employees as "Cinco de LinkedIn") when the five founders invited about 350 of their most important contacts to join. At the end of the first month in operation, LinkedIn had a total of 4,500 members in the network. LinkedIn's first "real" office was on Shoreline Road in Mountain View.

DecemberLinkedIn ends 2003 with 81,000 members and 14 employees. As a pleasant surprise, approximately half of the members came from outside the US.

Checking out LinkedIn Companies, iMedia Connection, November 16, 2010LinkedIn in has become one of the Big Three in social media (along with Twitter and Facebook), but until now there has been little to no reason for

brands to give much thought to their presence there. Many marketers are now making plans for 2011. Make sure LinkedIn

Analyst Quotes about LinkedIn

Perspective from industry analysts...To reach the unfamiliar, LinkedIn this year revamped its site. It unfurled a recruiting service for human-resource departments, a survey application for market research firms and several advertising services. It launched a new search platform, mobile service, company profiles and a redesigned home page. And it served up Spanish and French versions of the site. Jeremiah Owyang, analyst at Forrester Research, says...LinkedIn's new additions have made it easier for its members to collaborate not just with co-workers but people outside of their jobs.

USA Today, Bad news for workers is good news for LinkedIn"The number one way you find a job is through referral and LinkedIn is the biggest referral network out there,“ said Charlene Li, founder of the research outfit Altimeter Group.

Managers and moderators can now delete inappropriate posts right from their email box using the new option “Send me an email for each new discussion” in More > My Settings.

Managers and moderators can now delete inappropriate comments right from their email box by clicking “Delete” within any followed-discussion email alert.

We are introducing the ability for members to flag items as inappropriate – initially this is a way for us to gather important data and in a few weeks, this capability will enable members to flag items into the moderation queue or, if you choose, delete the content outright after an adjustable number of flags.

The moderation queue will allow group managers to decide how many member flags can delete a thread or a comment.

Managers can now restrict the move-to-Jobs capability to themselves. Users still will be able to “Flag-as-job” to move an item into the moderation queue.

Very-low-connection users will now be flagged as such in groups’ request-to-join queues. Very-low-connection users will no longer be admitted directly to open-access groups but routed

to the groups’ request-to-join queues. http://learn.linkedin.com/groups/
