    "achieved it success so early" -- OpenTable was founded in 1999. I guess the current IPO market makes ten years an early succes

    Uhh - what about the lockup for the VC's? By the time they could sell, it might well be in the single digits...

    Strange: in a time when people go less out eating due to the recession, there is an IPO for a service for reserving a table at a restaurant.

    Yes you can be right- but it might make it easier for them to sell their product to restaurants. Restaurants want to capitalize on more foot traffic and If there is a new tool out there to promote their restaurant- they will do it (depending on price of course). So it really can go both ways....

    $16-18? How soon after an IPO can you short a stock?
