I suppose this is good news. However, are we becoming a one horse town? What happens when Facebook moves on or out? I would be happier if FB employed a wider diversity of skills; not everyone is a techie. It would be nice to see well paid jobs across a spectrum of talents and abilities and less emphasis on high tech. (Yes, I know! It's progress and growth, etc., but I don't need to love it all.)

Menlo started off as a one horse town. It has evolved into a good size city.
