No. Despite the stock's performance, the company has a $6B market cap, was able to raise significant funds for itself, and provide liquidity for its employees.
I don't think it was necessarily a mistake, but I do think that it doesn't bode well for other companies considering IPOs within the next year - uh... like Facebook, Yelp, and others. Zynga's growth has flattened, which may have spooked investors. Facebook's latest "leaked" financials left something to be desired, so they may have a tough time maintaining the valuations they were enjoying over the past couple of years.
Lots of talk of "Bubble 2.0" being nearing the bursting point. The economy in general is not helping things. So it could be tricky for the companies waiting in the wings for their IPOs.
