Matt Sweetwood says, “LinkedIn is the most widely used business networking site on the planet with more than 433 million worldwide users, including 128 million in the United States. The platform was launched on May 5, 2003 in the living room of co-founder, Reid Hoffman. By the end of its first month it had 4,500 users. Today, LinkedIn reaches more than 200 countries, adds more than two users per second, has 100 million unique visitors a month and 57 percent of companies hire from LinkedIn in the U.S.

LinkedIn is a platform for businesses and organizations to find suppliers, customers, investors, post jobs and look for potential employees and board members. For individuals, it’s a place to network, find potential employers and find a job. It has one of the largest blogging platforms, “Pulse,” on earth. They are so large we can call it “game over” for any social network that would want to compete with LinkedIn.

Well, not so fast. There are some troubles in LinkedIn land”.
