Off-topic: Facebook to Open its First Asian Office in India
Facebook has found a home in Asia to help manage the social networking site's immense growth. Facebook will send advertising and developer support teams over at the Indian city of Hyderabad, supplementing its operations in the USA and Ireland. Note that the number of Facebook users has reached more than 400 million since its 2004 launch.

The site has 70% of users coming from outside the US and is used in 70 languages. With this huge success, Facebook is now investing in Asia and will hire Indian nationals for its Hyderabad office.

Hyderabad is a technology hub and is home to Google, Microsoft and IBM, among others.
