LinkedIN

An analysis of user demographics of LinkedIN members

Ever wondered which are the top social media platforms in Malta? Are they the same across the board, or do they cater to a specific audience? First of all, the top ranking social media platforms from data gathered on Alexa.com are the following:

1.  YouTube is the highest ranking social media platform. As a platform, it is a multimedia channel where a lot of people find it as a source to stream music, videos, podcasts and any sort of media material.
2.  Straight after YouTube, comes Facebook. A gigantic social media platform that connects people and keeps friends up to date with photos, links, videos, and advertisements.
3.  Surprisingly, however, the third highest-ranking social media platform is LinkedIn.

LinkedIn is targeted at mainly being a networking tool. As a platform, it can be used to find connections, recommend a vacancy opening to candidates, or to start a conversation with an industry expert and business partners. This platform is a hub for recruitment agencies and business-to-business communication. While Facebook allows the user to connect to another user on a personal level, LinkedIN helps the user to build a network with companies, organisations and professionals.
