LinkedIn, which has become the leading social network for professionals, tripled its size last month. Europe, North America and India are the main sources for new members, and the site is adding 5 languages in a push beyond the English-speaking world.

But is LinkedIn really worth a billion dollars? Maybe. Depends on how quickly LinkedIn can add useful intranet functions like private company groups and directories without breaking their business model.
