NASDAQ:FB

It'll probably be an hour or two, actually, it didn't start trading when the market opened. I'm not sure who decides when to pull the trigger, but apparently recent NASDAQ IPOs have been starting around 11:00 eastern, give or take a bit.

Edit: CNN indicates the company decides in consultation with NASDAQ: http://money.cnn.com/2012/05/17/technology/facebook-ipo-trad...

It's weird how I posted the exact same thing with a slightly different URL two hours ago and it went unnoticed: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3991295

edit: Not complaining. It seemed like an interesting accidental split test.
