The Hacker Company: Facebookers Snag A Vintage Sign For New HQ
It all started last April when former Facebook engineer Chris Putnam (of fame) was visiting his girlfriend's mom in Lake City, FL and saw the striking sign -- 'The Hacker Company."Putnam, who had left Facebook in August 2010 to do his own thing, felt an immediate affinity for the sign, after all, he actually had been hired by Facebook after hacking the site so hard it got co-founder Dustin Moskovitz' attention. "I'll always feel pretty close with the culture and all my friends there, so I immediately thought 'Man, this should be on FB's campus,'" Putnam said. So he posted a picture of it to Facebook with the caption, "Facebook NEEDS this sign."Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/AQlYWUKn3Nc/
