While Facebook and Twitter continue to duke it out, LinkedIn continues to quietly go about its business of being the place where professionals come to connect.
So as we approach the three-quarter mark of the year, here's how things stand at the most sensible of social networks.
Big base
LinkedIn now has 350 million users, and the number is constantly growing.
In fact, every second two new users sign up to the network.
Logging in to link up
Over one month LinkedIn sees close to 190 million visits.
While the average user spends 17 minutes every month linking in.
Globe-trotting

Over 70% of users reside outside the US.
