    1. It’s official. Facebook is finally forced to go public. They may not necessarily do an IPO but just the fact they have to report to the SEO says a lot. Interesting to see what their actual profits are, since they’ve done such a good job hiding that.

    2. Here is a bonus hint: If you’d like to also include jobs from a company that isn’t publically traded, you can enter “company:” followed by the company name in the “with all the words” field
