Be LinkedIn On The Go

LinkedIn has unveiled a mobile version of its social network. Point your mobile browser to http://m.linkedin.com/ to check it out.

Only basic functionality is currently available in the mobile version, but LinkedIn promises that more fully-featured, phone-specific features will be coming online soon. It is also accessible in six languages, including Mandarin.

A video introduction to the mobile LinkedIn app by Branden Duncan (LinkedIn’s director of engineering) is available on YouTube.

LinkedIn, with approximately 20 million members, is far smaller than MySpace or Facebook. However, its focus on the professional networking niche seems to have kept LinkedIn immune from the social networking fatigue that has beset its more popular rivals recently. LinkedIn has nearly tripled its unique visitor statistic over the past year, hitting a high of 3.6 million unique visitors in January 2008.
