Founded in 2004 by Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook has nearly 50 million users and registers 250,000 new users a day, 60 percent of whom come from outside the United States.It seems now that Facebook has targeted the world’s second-largest Internet market, registering a local Web address in China.

Facebook.cn is registered by United States-based Facebook, according to search results on Wednesday on the Web site of government-backed “China Internet Network Information Center.” The “.cn” suffix is commonly used for Chinese domain names.

Something to note, the domain name facebook.com.cn has been registered to an individual working at a local Internet service provider, but for now, the web address redirects back to Facebook’s home page.

My facebook profile is online for any of you who know me, but have not added me to your list of contacts yet - just search for “Steve Webel.”
