Facebook’s expected IPO is already the most talked about financial event in the tech industry since Google. Forced by its growing number of stockholders to file, Facebook will also get to reward thousands of its employees with a chance to cash out some of their paper wealth.

It all adds up to a huge day, likely with over $10 billion flowing into the company’s coffers from thousands of new investors.

From that day on, though, life inside the company will change, like it has for the hundreds of high-tech IPOs before it.
