It’s with mixed feelings that we announce today that Inside Facebook writer Jessica Lee is leaving us. Since joining us earlier this year, Jessica has done a great job analyzing the ins and outs of the Facebook Platform ecosystem. However, Jessica has just been hired by Facebook itself, and today is her first day on the Facebook Platform team where she’ll be working on the verification program. Big congratulations to Jessica, but we’ll miss her!

With that, we’re also starting the search for a new contributing writer today. If you’re very analytical, passionate about the future of Facebook and the social web, and love to write, please check out our job description. Current/former management consultants and research analysts are especially welcome to apply. While we certainly don’t guarantee that the position will lead to a job at Facebook or at other companies in the industry, we will guarantee that you’ll learn a ton and have fun here. We look forward to hearing from you!
