With the economy reeling and layoffs piling up, business-networking site LinkedIn has been not-so-surprisingly hopping.
Market researcher ComScore reported that LinkedIn's unique visitors rose to 7.7 million, a 22 percent increase over December, TechCrunch reported Saturday. And not only are more people visiting LinkedIn, but they're hanging around longer as well. Total minutes spent on the site last month more than doubled from December to 96.8 million, according to TechCrunch.
More people are helping out friends looking for jobs as well. Recommendations were up 65 percent last month over December, TechCrunch said.
