Facebook To Open First Offices in Asia
16th March, 2010

Over at the official Facebook Blog, the company has announced that it will open new offices in Hyderabad, India. This announcement comes just days after Facebook confirmed that it will also be setting up shop in Austin, Texas. Both the India and Austin offices will be hiring online sales and operations staff.

With more than 400 million users, Facebook has experienced serious growth over the last few years. Having more offices will mean that the company can better support its customers.

The Hyderabad office Facebooks first in Asia is an important development. The company blog states that 70% of the people using Facebook come from outside the U.S. Having an international presence and support system is therefore crucial in continuing to expand and connect.

The new offices join Facebooks main headquarters in Palo Alto, as well as the office in Dublin, Ireland. The social networking site also has offices in Atlanta; Birmingham, Michigan; Chicago; Dallas; Detroit; New York; Venice Beach, Calif.; Washington, DC, as well as in Milan; Paris; Stockholm; Sydney and Toronto.
