Linking Universe and Facebook: Update
As you may know, Linking Universe is working to build a suite of business tools into the Facebook environment.
Our progress has been exciting and we are moving ahead at a very fast pace. We anticipate publishing the Linking Universe application suite to a small selection of handpicked beta testers around January 5, 2008. We will make small adjustments between that time and January 15th, when we plan to launch our application to all Facebook users.
The Facebook phenomenon has been astounding. Users are jumping into Facebook by the hundreds of thousands each day. According to the Facebook statistics page, Facebook has…
- More than 59 million active users
- An average of 250,000 new registrations per day since Jan. 2007
- An average of 3% weekly growth since Jan. 2007
- Active users doubling every 6 months
Linking Universe is poised to become the first business networking company to release a business tools application to the Facebook audience.
Linking Universe features business tools that help Facebook social network members understand the strength of their social network in a business sense, communicate with other Facebook users with business-oriented communications tools, and to manage referrals withing the Facebook environment, and to track business opportunities generated from those referrals.
Linking Universe is preparing to raise the bar for Facebook applications, and further legitimize Facebook as a viable business communications platform.
