Ernst & Young has named LinkedIn's Reid Hoffman and Jeff Weiner as its 2011 national Entrepreneurs of the Year.
LinkedIn is, of course, the professional social network and resume website. The site has grown to more than 135 million members in 200 countries and territories, went public in May, and recently had a market capitalization of $7.62 billion.

Weiner, a former Yahoo! executive and venture capitalist, came on as LinkedIn chief executive in 2008.
