LinkenIn is a website that is set up to establish a social network. It was officially founded in 2003 when the site was launched on May 5th. At firs the five founders invited about 350 of there most important contacts to join there website. After a month of operation the website had 4,500 members in the network. At the end of 2003 the website grew to about 81,000 members, by the end of 2004 they had 1.6 million members. Then in March of 2005 LinkedIn put up a service that will help members of the website find job opportunities. And by May 5th 2009, 6 years after it was first launched it has grown to 40 million members. Now LinkedIn has over 65 million members in over 200 different countries. LinkedIn was created as a website to help people expand there social network. Like if you own a business and you want to expand it and find investors you can go through your friends or your friend’s friends to find someone. Then you just have to ask to be connected to them.This is a nice way to find the connections you might need in the business world. People can use it to help there business or get a job. This is a pretty safe website cause you don't put that much personal information you put up a lot of business information. I would most likely be using this website in the future cause i feel this website can help you to advance in the career field you want to pursue.
