October 14, 2008

Response of the Office of Chief Counsel
Division of Corporation Finance

Re:

Facebook, Inc.
Incoming letter dated October 13, 2008

Based on the facts presented, the Division will not object if Facebook, Inc. does not comply with the registration requirements of Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") with respect to restricted stock units granted and to be granted pursuant to the Company's 2005 Stock Plan in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in your letter. This position will remain in effect until the earlier of (1) the date that Facebook, Inc. otherwise becomes subject to Exchange Act registration or reporting requirements with respect to any other class of its securities, or (2) the date of a Change of Control (as defined in your letter).

This position is based on the representations made to the Division in your letter. Any different facts or conditions might require the Division to reach a different conclusion. Further, this response expresses the Division's position on enforcement action only and does not express any legal conclusion on the question presented.

Sincerely,

Anne Krauskopf
Senior Special Counsel
