Analysts indicate that they expect LinkedIn to file their S-1 registration statement during the first quarter of the year. LinkedIn of course is the other oft forgotten social network with the profiles of over 85 million business professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does a LinkedIn IPO mean for a possible Facebook IPO this year? Absolutely nothing. A mistake would be to think of LinkedIn in terms of Facebook. Where a connection can be drawn between the two companies is in the market outlook for the tech industry. The new valuation of Facebook at $50 billion (put that in perspective, that makes it 1\/5th the size of Microsoft in valuation), plus the willingness of LinkedIn to go public expresses a returning business confidence in the tech space. Recession be damned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article\/SB10001424052748704405704576064790926519686.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LinkedIn is expected to file its S-1 registration statement during the first quarter of the year, signaling a revival in the tech industry.
