Facebook CTO Signs Off?

By madhu

        Facebook’s chief technology officer Adam D’Angelo, a school friend of chief executive Mark Zuckerberg, is leaving the company.

The 23-year-old helped Facebook cope with its rapid expansion – the company has just borrowed another $100m to buy new servers. D’Angelo has a bachelor’s degree from California Institute of Technology. He was one of the first people Zuckerberg hired to help set the company up.

                 D’Angelo was feeling the pressure and, according to All Things Digital, believed his job no longer fitted with his interests and skills. He mailed Facebook staff on Friday saying he needed a break but would remain a strong supporter of the site.

He will not be replaced – instead, Facebook is looking to hire a vice president of engineering.Thanks theregister
