Expected: Stanford CS Grads are HOT

Google and Facebook are fighting over top talents from Stanford. (TechCrunch article)
This is definitely expected. The salary hike has started.
How cool that is... the rise of salary in the software engineering/ web development market, makes the industry really attractive to students who are going to colleges. Stanford only produces a limited amount of top talents every year, a lot of them might want to work for something really cool around that 50 mile area.
Google seemed already to pass the stage of center of attraction. Now it is Facebook. Yes! it's hot!
Everyone is talking about it, not only in the market but also all linked industries.... yes... lot of liquid here!

what else? Zazzle is there.
Digg is in San Fran.
MySpace is not that far...
and many many hot stuff around there.
Clean Energy and Green Energy also attract fairly a large pool of talents to work on it. it's been really hot in 2007. 2008 might be the year to demonstrate some of the work already done. It's really exciting.

China is another hot spot in terms of the global market. I saw so many foreign students at Wudaokou, Beijing to learn Chinese. So many foreign expats are coming to China for business opportunity or career opportunity.

Olympic is close! 190+ days away from today!
many many more!
