Facebook is an American success story. Started by a Harvard dropout (isn't that how all big tech / Internet stories begin?), fraught with intrigue (which in the US means lawsuits and payoffs to hush potential rabble rousers) and something that goes beyond the walls of the US (sorry, but that was not an immigration reference unless you want it to be). According to Royal Pingdom's 'research' Facebook is truly a global company with the US leading the way, for now.
