SAN FRANCISCO – The fourth-quarter report for online professional-networking service LinkedIn has added another line to its sterling resume as a public company.

The run of pleasant surprise is one of the reasons that LinkedIn’s stock has nearly tripled from its initial public offering price of $45.

Revenue soared 81 per cent to $304 million.
