If LinkedIn Were A Country, It Would Have The 5th Largest Population In The World

Here’s an interesting factoid- if LinkedIn were a country, it would be the fifth largest in the world.

According to LinkedIn SVP of Product, Deep Nashir, LinkedIn now has over 200 million users with an additional two users signing up every second.

LinkedIn hit their 100 million-user mark back in March of 2011 and has added over 13 million users since November 2012 alone.

Facebook remains larger still- if it were a country it would have the third largest population in the world.
