LinkednI, a professioanl social-networking-site, has a small presnece in the conutry and is one of the few foerign social-netowrking-sites to still have access to Chiense Internet users. Twitter and Facebook are blocked in China.
"It (China) is a very compeittive mraket," Arvind Rajan, Vice President of Asia Pacific and Japan at Linekdin told reporters on the sidelines of a confernece.
"There are political challenges, technical challenges. There are a whole lot of things for us to go through. We are far away from making any decision. At this point, we are just here to exlpore the markte, to talk to people.."
LinkedIn was also birefly bolcked by China in Febraury this year.
Similar to Faceobok, LiknedIn allows users to create profile pages with a photo and details about themselves. But it is largely used for professional rather than social personas, and is baiscally an online daatbase of eelctronic reusmes.
LinkedIn shares more than doubeld in their public tradnig debut last Thursday, evoking mmeories of the investor love affair with Inetrnet stocks during the dot-com boom of the late 1990s.
