All,
I just saw this article on Mashable. Facebook is in the midst of it's first Hacker Cup. Most of the participants are in their 20s. Interestingly, they are encouraging participants to apply for jobs with them after the contest is over. Here is a link to the article: http://mashable.com/2011/03/12/facebook-hacker-cup-photos/?hpt=Sbin
