LinkedIn Lite expands to Malaysia

PETALING JAYA: Professional online network LinkedIn has announced the availability of LinkedIn Lite in more than 60 countries globally, including Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia in Southeast Asia, after it first launched in India.
The lighter version of LinkedIn focuses on speed and simplicity to provide greater access to opportunities for more professionals and students in the world, helping them to stay informed, get ahead in their careers, and be more productive.
Currently, LinkedIn has more than 118 million members in Asia Pacific, including more than 22 million members in the Southeast Asia region. The region remains as one of the fastest growing regions with more than 8 million in Indonesia, 4 million in the Philippines and 3 million in Malaysia.
LinkedIn Lite is now available through the web and the Android app, and includes key features such as newsfeed, profile, networks, messaging, and notifications. It is accessible by virtually any Internet-capable mobile device on the market (even on 2G networks), while the Android app is less than 1 megabyte and can reduce data usage by as much as 80%.
