2011's brightest technology company IPO is none other than the non-Linkedin. Large as the United States first publicly traded social media company, in the first day of trading, LinkedIn's stock price once up to $ 122.70, a valuation of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars. Since this is also Google went public in August 2004, the U.S. market is the largest along with Internet IPO.
Many Silicon Valley Linkedin listed a par with 1995's Netscape. Although Netscape listing just a record company only built a year and a half, and not yet profitable, but Netscape has created a network economy "billions of dollars in Time", a more profound sense that, Netscape has opened the world's digital economy innovation boom, in a sense, we can even have Netscape as the root of the wave of the Internet bubble that burst in 2000.
Linkedin and Netscape. Linkedin has founded a decade, and profits in good condition, annual income up to 100% increase is capital market dream seems to mesh, even if there are crazy Facebook, after all, a bird in the hand is worth two birds in the bush Linkedin eat first say.
