Written by Doug Coleman / November 18, 2008 11:58 AM / 4 Comments

Facebook_logo.jpgIn a recent Twitter update, Justin Bishop announced, "It's official. :) I start at Facebook as a Software Engineer on December 8". This is a great leap forward for Justin, who is an experienced engineer and developer. Previously, he worked at Blist as a Freelance Flex/Rails Developer and Gamehouse.com as a Software Development Engineer.

The popular social networking website Facebook was launched February 4, 2004. The domain name facebook.com was purchased for $200,000 in 2005. There are now over 120 million active users of the site.

  2. Totally agree with Charlie above. I hear FB's really trying to modernize their business by moving it onto the internet.

  4. Wait, they have Facebook on Internet now? Is there a URL or is it just another unsubstantiated rumor?
