Is Facebook a tech company or a media company? I would say that Facebook is really a media company and it makes more sense to be in a major media capitol like New York than in Palo Alto. Yes, New York has an unfriendly business climate, but the San Francisco Bay Area isn’t exactly a low-regulation, low-taxes, cheap-housing haven.

facebook really has 200 mio users .. on one side this is of course amazing – on the other hand it’s still just a fraction of the entire internet community…
but 10 offices worldwide is not nothing, and the relevance of facebook accounts for social networking is remarkable.
I wonder if and when service networks like Oohlala will ever reach that volume .. but as the community is still growing, might as well be the case one day.
just like mr. benz or mr. gates once started in a backyard garage …

Next, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is going to ask the makers of DatingANDTheCity.com to come open up a new york office. Like what Rob posted, DatingANDTheCity.com does not need a room full of people just a place to host their servers.

I like facebook. I can’t figure out how to work Youtube to make videos. Facebook probly was the first to allow a twenty minute video. I made maybe more than thirty videos. It took forever to erase them all. The first time I saw Bloomberg ticker I was searching and watching international tv. The ticker was the most amazing thing. He probly enjoys being around groundbreakers. I had to get off my parents joined. I’m not a groundbreaker when it comes to home cooking i’ll just erase the comedy routines and enjoy staying fed instead.

Hmm what? Since when does Bloomberg have a New York office, rather than a multitude of New Jersey offices?

An office in Ireland huh? Last I checked corporate income tax rates were about 10% there I believe! Makes having a satellite in NYC not that expensive anymore

i seriously agree wit rob on the issue.if bloomberg wants facebook in newyork its for economic,political or social or wateva other reason like some kind of bragging rights.they just need space for servers unless he’ll giv them some kind of tax break or something i dont know about apart from that the whole idea is senseless
