While we were busy reporting about the Facebook Bug that revealed your chat and messages or the video on the Speed of Google Chrome we forgot totally to report that Facebook is expanding physically as well. The social network is not expanding itself to Seattle. Another office means more hiring and as stated on the blog the network plans to have as many as 30 engineers before the year ends.
The expansion is obvious and much needed given the bulk of information the people behind Facebook are in charge of. The ever expanding population brings forth more challenges to its team, security being the first and foremost. Despite having the best brains out there, Facebook like any other name on the Web falls prey to security flaws every now and then. The best part of the news is that previously Facebook did expand its offices outside Palo Alto but it kept its engineer team locked within the main office. This is the first time it has actually decided to distribute its engineering team geographically.
