This accelerated pace of innovation is fundamental to our goal of driving greater engagement on the LinkedIn platform."
LinkedIn recently released new features like endorsements which have encouraged more user activity and increased the frequency of profile updates. Over 200 million endorsements have generated so far. After the company’s launch of notifications and the new homepage, comments have increased more than four times the amount before June. Homepage traffic has also increased by 60%.

LinkedIn’s projects its revenue for Q4 2012 to range between $270m to $275m with stock based compensation to range from $28m to $30m.
