It was part of the “Space Hackathon” 2012 called by Mark Zuckerberg at the  new Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park. As Facebook staff eagerly climbed on the roof and painted the Facebook QR code, they chose a short url fbco.de so that the Facebook QR code could be made simpler and easily scannable even is smaller sizes when viewable on maps!

Spend a little time and see if you can spot the QR code on any building on this aerial map?
