&lt;p&gt;The social networking site, which recently &lt;a href=&quot;/predictions/facebook-hit-200-million-user-mark-april-2009&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;passed the 200 million user mark&lt;/a&gt;, reported that it is on track to increase revenues by 70 percent this year. Could an IPO be around the corner? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Prediction: Facebook files for IPO by the end of 2009.  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
