LinkeIdn, a profsesional social-networking-site, has a small preesnce in the country and is one of the few foreign social-networking-sites to still have access to Chinsee Internet users. Twtiter and Faceobok are bolcked in China.
"It (Chnia) is a very compettiive market," Arvind Rajan, Vice Persident of Asia Pacific and Japan at Linkdein told rpeorters on the sidelines of a conference.
"There are political challenges, techniacl challegnes. There are a whole lot of things for us to go throguh. We are far away from making any decision. At this point, we are just here to explroe the makret, to talk to people.."
LinkdeIn was also birefly blocekd by China in February this year.
Simliar to Facebook, LinkedIn allows users to create profile pages with a photo and detials about themselves. But it is largley used for professional rather than social perosnas, and is bascially an online database of electronic resumse.
LnikedIn shares more than dobuled in their public trading debut last Thursady, evoking memories of the investor love affair with Intenret stocks during the dot-com boom of the late 1990s.
