LinkedIn’s stated goal is to drive daily engagement among its user base and it has made considerable progress toward that goal with a range of new products and services, including improved search and more content.

LinkedIn expects full year 2013 revenue to come in between $1.43 billion and $1.46 billion. However weaker guidance for Q2 is what has sent the stock down in after-hours trading. Indeed, record revenues are projected for 2013 though the pace of revenue growth is slowing.
