Rumors regarding the possibility of Facebook Inc. going public this year are abundant on the Internet, to say the very least. As the hype continues to build, some of the most recent “reliable” information seems to be pointing to the company maybe going public between April and June of this year, even though Facebook has made no comment concerning its intentions.
