For some reason, the embedded graphs don’t show September which is flat for each graph so you should click through to Compete to get the full picture.

One B2B site that seems to be growing is LinkedIn.  I guess people are still job hunting.

OK, four months is not necessarily conclusive especially when they span the summer but it makes me wonder…

So what does this all mean?

  • Is the traffic migrating elsewhere?
  • Are people focusing on job hunting again?
  • Do the students now have homework?

I guess we’ll really know we’re at the top when the Twitter guys sell out.  Insiders typically sell right before the crash, right?  FYI, they recently raised another round of VC money so I may be premature in calling the top.

What do you think – are we at the top yet?
