LinkedIn Is Planning to Go Public in 2011

Reuters reported this morning that LinkedIn, the business focused social network, plans to go public in 2011. This could be part of a move to ensure that LinkedIn has their IPO before Facebook, therefore avoiding risk of being overshadowed by the world’s largest social network.

LinkedIn is remaining mum on the subject, reported as saying “An IPO is just one of many tactics that we could consider.” The thing is, the timing couldn’t be better for a social networking company dedicated to the business space.
