There Are Now 1 Billion Endorsements on LinkedIn

Media_httprack1mshcdn_kbwpx

There are now 1 billion Endorsements on LinkedIn, an impressive figure for a feature released just six months ago.

As the infographic below shows, some 50 million Endorsements are batted around the business-friendly social network each week and "strategic planning" is the most popular subject for an Endorsement.

Introduced in September, Endorsements represented a frictionless alternative to formal recommendations. Instead of going to the trouble of writing up a formal recommendation, you merely have to click a button to endorse someone.

The ease of use, however, has simultaneously made Endorsements ubiqutious and meaningless. However, LinkedIn is clearly pleased with its accomplishment.
