LinkedIn Goes Dutch with 2M Netherlands Users

Professional networking site LinkedIn reached a milestone in the Netherlands, topping 2 million members and hosting more than 32,000 LinkedIn Groups in the country, including the Dutch ICT Professionals group, which contains more than 13,000 IT professionals.

LinkedIn said it has 17 million members in Europe overall. Its Amsterdam office opened this past January with four staff members and now hosts 10.

Netherlands country manager Eugenie van Wiechen said:

We Dutch really get networking. A combination of nonhierarchical culture, strong international business links, and high levels of Internet penetration has made the Netherlands a strong European market for LinkedIn.
