![Mashable Surpasses 500,000 Facebook Fans [OMG!]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/01McP3pM2yMGhMHIWdpq6Fa/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647019913.jpg)
We want to send a huge thank you to all our readers who "like" us on Facebook for making this milestone possible. It's a goal we've been striving for ever since we announced our real-life Facebook fan wall in November. At that time, we had about 300,000 Facebook fans.
As our audience has grown, so has our staff. We now have 45 employees in the U.S. and Europe. In fact, there are so many new people at our New York City headquarters, we're soon moving offices to accomodate everyone.
That said, we're keeping our opt-in period for the real-life Facebook fan wall open until we move this summer. We'll post the wall in our brand new space, ringing in a new era for Mashable.
