IPO Could Value LinkedIn At US$3.35bn

The professional networking site, founded in 2003 by Reid Hoffman, now has more than 100m members in more than 200 countries, and could be valued at up to US$3.35bn following a float on the New York Stock Exchange later this month. Unlike other social networking sites, LinkedIn charges many of its members for premium content as well as selling advertising space.
