As we reported yesterday, growth for some of the world’s biggest social networks — like Twitter and Facebook — appear to be flattening . One site bucking that trend though is LinkedIn , which saw a 5.68% growth in traffic for the month of September, according to Compete. It’s not just traffic that’s growing, users are increasing too. In a blog entry today, LinkedIn reports that it now has over 50 million users worldwide. As the company’s announcement points out, it took nearly sixteen months for LinkedIn to reach its first million users. The last million took only 12 days. LinkedIn says that while 50% of its users are based in the US, 50% are international. This is an impressive stat that speaks highly to LinkedIn’s continued growth. As more and more social networks start to expand their focus and go after more types of users, we like that LinkedIn has continued to reinforce its mission of connecting professionals to each other. Sometimes having a solid target and niche can be more effective and lead to greater consistent growth than trying to be all things to all people. What do you think about LinkedIn? Do you use the service more than you did a year ago? Let us know in the comments! Reviews: LinkedIn Tags: growth , linkedin , stats

Back in May I wrote a post entitled To Twitter or Not Twittter? And that is still a question I am pondering.
What is Twitter?
A microblogging platform that asks the question…”What are you doing now?“
A communication channel and social network
You post to Twitter in 140 characters or less via your mobile phone or the web
It’s text messaging, instant messaging, and email rolled into one service that allows you to communicate instantly with a group
A potential addiction and [...]
