“Facebook Puts European Headquarters in Dublin” filed under: zero degree of separation — Martin @ 7:52 pm

Sorry Facebook guys, but establishing a headquarter in Dublin is not enough to conquer Europe and the Middle East and Africa:

This morning the Irish Times reported that Facebook has confirmed its plans to establish one of its international headquarters in Dublin. The headquarters will be responsible for activities taking place within the company “across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.” Last week I wrote about Facebook hiring people in India, Hong Kong, Syndney, and the U.K.

Via Facebook Puts European Headquarters in Dublin

Europe is a diverse social network market and Germany in particular is a complicated one with strong competitors. If you want to succeed in Germany you have to open a headquarter in Germany. Take MySpace for example, they have a headquarter in Berlin, a very beautiful by the way.

So Facebook come to Germany! My suggestion for your headquarter is Munich – you will like it! And have a good time!

Martin
