The other notable investors in LinkedIn include Peter Thiel who has also invested in Facebook. Looks like the LinkedIn IPO is going to be a closely watched one. Sequoia is surely going to rake in some big moolah from this.

Dice.com and Whitepages.com both have more profits than Linkedin has revenue and are in related markets. Web 2.0 hot air does not make up for lack of profitability.

Yeah, I can see FB going IPO but no linked in. Altho there are more professional people on linked in.

This is a risky move for Linked in especially given the dynamic competitive situation with FaceBook and given that they are playing catch up in the area of developer APIs. The Fickle public markets will be an added distraction...May be they want to cash out when they can?

Linked-In is definitely going mainstream...My rule of thumb is when my Dad gets on it...and he just joined.
