LinkedIn, the online social network for professionals and job seekers, has reached 100 million members worldwide, more than half of whom live outside the United States, media reports said Wednesday.
The California-based company said 44 millions of its members are in the United States and 56 millions are outside the United States. Brazil and Mexico are among the company’s fastest growing countries.
"We're now growing at roughly one million new LinkedIn members every week, the equivalent of a professional joining the site at faster than one member per second," LinkedIn chief executive Jeff Weiner said in a blog post.
LinkedIn is seeking to raise up to 175 million U.S. dollars in an initial public offering. While its membership is growing, the company said in January that a "substantial majority" of its members do not visit the site on a monthly basis.
Facebook, the world's largest social network, boasts more than 500 million members.
