LinkedIn delivered a revenue forecast that fell short of Wall Street expectations, sending its stock down about 8 percent in after-hours trading on Thursday.
The social network geared towards professionals posted a better than expected 47 percent jump in fourth-quarter revenue and announced the $120 million cash and stock acquisition of online job search service Bright on Thursday.
But LinkedIn's revenue guidance for the first quarter and for the full 2014 year both missed analysts' expectations.
