LinkedIn as a Multi-Dimensional Fundraiser’s Resource - Resource Center - AFP: When LinkedIn launched in 2003, most professionals saw it as little more than an online resume—those days are long gone.

LinkedIn has over 175 million members in 200 countries. The net worth of the average user is more than that of Facebook and Twitter combined. Major gift fundraisers, are you paying attention?
