Facebook will open its first operations office in Asia in Hyderabad, India, according to a story in the Associated Press.

With more than eight million users in India, Facebook plans to establish advertising and developer support teams in the southern India city, which also is home to offices for Google and Microsoft, among other technology giants.  The six-year-old Facebook boasts an estimated 400 million users worldwide.

"TUOL" suspects that Facebook/India is the same as its U.S. counterpart, except instead of "poking" friends, one "pun-jabs" them.
