LinkedIn is a business and employment- oriented social networking service that operates via websites.

As of March 2016, LinkedIn has more than 433 million accounts, out of which more than 106 million are active.

WHY LINKEDIN…???

LinkedIn allows users (workers and employers) to create profiles and "connections" to each other in an online social network which may represent real-world professional relationships.
