Killer: Facebook preparing IPO
According to inside facebook, which smartly monitors facebook’s new job descriptions, they found this interesting new job opportunity at facebook:
Responsibilities:
- Manage the administration and compliance of all employee equity compensation programs such as Stock options, Restricted stock, RSUs, Warrants
- Strong knowledge of SEC, FASB, and IRS rules and regulations relating to stock plans and insider trading (including SEC Section 16, SEC Rules 144, 145 and 701, FASB 123R, and IRC Sections 83, 409A, 421, 422 and 423)
- Partner with Legal, Tax, and Finance to ensure ongoing compliance and for internal and external reporting
Now this certainly looks like Facebook might be preparing an IPO. Others have suggested that facebook might be sold to google, citing Zuckerberg is in love with Google. But soon enough, facebook could take over google in page views:

How much is facebook worth now? Certainly now the 8 bn $ valuation looks more realistic than ever. I’m sure the guys at Facebook think it’s even a whole lot more. (compare googles 170bn $ valuation)
