Comments on: LinkedIn Reaches 10 Million Users http://linkedintelligence.com/linkedin-reaches-10-million-users/ The unofficial source for all things LinkedIn® Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:41:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ian Jones http://linkedintelligence.com/linkedin-reaches-10-million-users/#comment-298 Ian Jones Sat, 02 Jul 2011 18:25:27 +0000 http://linkedintelligence.com/?p=118#comment-298 Scott, you say that ‘if you’re trying to reach consumers though Twitter and Facebook may be more appropriate’. I would like to suggest that the line is not as clear cut as to use LinkedIn for business and other social networking sites to attract customers. Considering the emerging tendency for users to leave Facebook and Twitter, and concerns about the publication of too much personal information on such sites leading to identity theft, LinkedIn could provide a more trustable medium over which users could share information. Its credentials as an effective business tool could even succeed in attracting more social users who wish to interact over a more secure platform. I am not saying that Facebook and Twitter will not retain their powerful online presence, only that users of social media are becoming more informed about options available to them on the internet.

For a business-to-business tool, I think it's the clear leader, even with its shortcomings. If you're trying to reach consumers, though, Facebook and Twitter may be more appropriate.
