Product Yearbook 2012

We’ve been working hard this year to bring out new products and features that simplify the LinkedIn experience, help our members grow and manage their networks, and equip them everyday with the relevant insights and tools to be great at their jobs. The best part is that we’re just getting warmed up and expect 2013 to bring even more new innovation. In the meantime, here is a look back at our amazing year…

Oh, what a year it’s been!
