I'm sure Bain has a great plan to monetize LinkedIn. However, even with LinkedIn likely being easier to monetize than Facebook I don't think they're worth $1B. Simple calculations based on revenues of $100 million (with zero costs) LinkedIn is valued (according to <a href="http://www.bizak.com/calculate" rel="nofollow">Bizak Calculator</a>) at $399,999,984 - 40% lower than their recent valuation of $1 billion.
