CRAIN'S NEW YORK BUSINESS -- Jan 18 -- For the last four months of 2008, LinkedIn, which
has 1.4 million members in New York state, reported an 11% increase in
the number of
connections made between users, a 10% boost in invites sent among
members and a 9% uptick in page views. Facebook reached 150m+ active
users earlier this month. Interactive One, which operates
BlackPlanet.com, AsianAvenue.com and MiGente.com, has
seen a 12% jump in uniques. Sign-ups from New
York state residents on Lavalife.com were down 13% until the stock
market meltdown, according to Marina
Glogovac, CEO of Lavalife. New York membership increased 7% each month
from the beginning of the 3rd quarter through the end of 2008. Although
OKCupid met its goal of reaching $2m in revenue
last year, Mr. Yagan admits that his site is vulnerable to a declining
ad market. FULL ARTICLE @ CRAIN NEW YORK BUSINESS
