CNET News: Etsy, the online crafts marketplace, has filed papers to raise $100 million in an initial public offering. Founded in 2005, the website derives its revenue from listing fees and commissions on the sale of items such as handmade jewelry, crocheted wool booties and antique mother of pearl silverware. Etsy’s move is part of a recent resurgence in IPOs that has included the likes of Chinese e-tailer Alibaba and data-storage service Box.
