Im proud to share that Facebook is partnering with the city on this years BigApps competition. We feel that its important to be not just participants in the growth of tech here in New York, but also investors in the programs and causes that will grow the community around us. At Facebook we are a young company with an ambitious mission. We have a lot of work and opportunity left to explore. So we need the brightest, best motivated talent in the world. And we need them to be a part of a community where they can talk about their work, meet with their peers, and open-source their code. From the earliest days of Facebook we’ve seen that the talent we are looking for is in New York. As we’ve grown, as the tech industry here has grown, and as engineers have more and more opportunities in front of them, we’re only seeing that accelerate. New York will continue to be a magnet for the best talent in the world. The community has grown more connected as well. New Yorkers seem almost unusually willing to help each other out and view themselves not as competitors, but as part of a common movement. Im looking forward to seeing some great apps as part of this years competition, and Im happy that Facebook is a part of the success story of New York tech.
