Facebook: when will it go public?

Oct 24, 2008 - Microsoft Corp. agreed to invest $240 million for a minority stake in Facebook Inc. that values the social-networking site at $15 billion. As part of the deal, the two companies expanded their advertising agreement. Some says it is still looking to hedge funds and private-equity investors to raise more cash beyond the $240 million. We can't wait till it goes public. Will it go IPO in 2008 or later?

    in a recent interview, the founder said:

    We're not even thinking about an IPO right now. I know the guys who run Slide and LinkedIn, and they're smart. In the past, a lot of companies viewed it as their goal to go public. We're focused on building a company for the long term, something that can really deliver a lot of value for everyone. Going public is a secondary thing, and we'll do it when it makes sense for us.

    they are a young company, and they dont have live assests to confirmn their 15 идт valuation... there is no way that the exchange accepts this joke... however I believe in facebook and agree with the valuation... it's just not ready to go public and thats it

    The Facebook hype seems to die down in the last week or so. However, I think their ad model is solid. If they can prove themselves to be profitable, it might go IPO within 2 years.

    to boost up the price, it will need to rumor for a long time before going to IPO :p .. i am pretty sure it won't happen b4 Q1 2009.

    Facebook definitely has no intention to be bought out. Just look at how much he asks from Microsoft to buy its stake. So, if everything goes well with Facebook, it will go IPO within 2 years. For now, I say it will be around 2009.

    The Facebook Ads service looks very interesting. I wonder if this will affect revenue of its competition:
