Endorsements, LinkedIn?s Answer To Klout, Passes 1B Recommendations And Builds Up A New Data Set

Endorsements, a lightweight way for people on LinkedIn to recommend each other's skills, has picked up some significant traction in its first five months of life. Today, LinkedIn is announcing that Endorsements has passed the 1 billion milestone -- with 58 million members getting recognition on their profiles for different areas of expertise, according to a blog post from Peter Rusev. The marker is a sign that, were LinkedIn so inclined, it could likely give sites likes Klout, which measure influencer status, a run for their money.
