LinkedIn is back!
LinkedIn just reached 11 millions users!
It took 4 months to LinkedIn to grow from 9M to 10M and it took only 6 weeks to go from 10 to 11M.
The graph below shows the sharp increase in terms of users (blue line).
I write "LinkedIn is back!" compared to what I posted previously: LinkedIn is still growing, but...

LinkedIn, The World, France, Germany, India and China
OK, LinkedIn is the 1st worldwide and in Europe BUT not in Germany and France.
Germany and France are still important markets and still love to speak their respective national language. Actually they not only love to speak it, but a sizeable part of french and german people do not speak any other language and they live and work very happily.
That's why, it is my feeling that whatever the size LinkedIn will reach, both Xing and Viadeo will keep an advantage in France and Germany.
By the way, I think there is definetely a place for a chinese speaking social networking site, and that's why Viadeo made an alliance with one of them... No place though for an indian speaking social networking site as many languages are spoken in India and english is the common language. India is using LinkedIn!
Read also my previous post Are French and German not interested in "social networking"?
By the way, I'm an open networker and welcome all invitations on LinkedIn, Viadeo and Xing.
I use Viadeo for France (4000+ 1st level contacts), LinkedIn for the world (12000+ 1st level contacts) and Xing for german speaking countries (1000+ 1st level contacts). I am not speaking chinese fluently enough to invite you to connect on a chinese social networking site :-(

LinkedIn is growing its user base in India
I am one of the 50 most connected users in LinkedIn. Lately I have seen a trend where my network in India is one of those that grow the fastest .
What is unusual here is that usually the fastest growers are also the the biggest as UK, NY or the bay. But this is not the case for India which is below 4% but may soon appear in the top 5 areas in terms of LinkedIn users.
In Basic LinkedIn Users Radioscopy I explain why my network may be similar to the entire LinkedIn user base.
PS: I heavily "invested" in terms of connection effort towards India because I'm in love with this country/continent and I think it is an area of growth in many areas.
