Ed. Note: We’d like to share with you the announcement related to our filing registration statement for a proposed Initial Public Offering.

January is almost over. But if you didn’t get that promotion, don’t worry –  there’s always April, especially if you’re in India.

One of the questions we’ve heard from you is whether there is an ideal time of the year to ask for a promotion. Does the answer depend on whether you are in Australia or in France? Does it change if you are a teacher or an engineer?

Other than being one of my favorite days, LinkedIn Hackday (part of our “inDay” program) is one day set aside each month where employees step away from their every day job functions to give back to the community, create new rapid prototypes, solve business problems, express ideas and be creative while learning and “bending” new technologies. Hackday isn’t just limited to technically minded people or engineers. In fact, all employees have the opportunity to join a team and collaborate on amazing new ideas.

People use LinkedIn daily for their professional success.  Finding a job, sharing professional content, gathering professional insights using Signal, connecting with like-minded business colleagues while creating a rich professional network are just a few examples of how people use LinkedIn to be more productive and successful.  In most cases, this entire process starts with a simple “search”.

If you’re a LinkedIn user, you already know the power of your professional network.

What if you could visualize what your network looks like?  Would your connections form clusters or groups?  Wouldn’t it be great if you could see the way all your connections are related to each other? Even be able to identify the elusive hubs between your professional worlds?
