Bangalore: Even for the biggest of the tech geeks it becomes a great Shakespearean dilemma to be or not to be the entrepreneur. Following some instincts in similar lines, the Chief Technology Officer of Facebook, Bret Taylor is leaving the giant social network to start his own company. He is going to build his startup along with the Google’s App Engine Manager Kevin Gibbs, reported Washington Post.

The decision surely means to have left some mixed feeling for Bret. “I've learned more than I ever imagined in my time at Facebook. I'm also extremely grateful for my relationship with all of the amazing people I've worked with here. I'm very proud of our recent accomplishments in our platform and mobile products, from Open Graph and App Center to Facebook Camera and our iOS integration. I'm even more excited for the world to see all the amazing things these teams have coming,” said Bret.

Bret became a part of the Facebook team after his company FriendFeed was bought in 2009 by the social network. He had co-founded the company which allows users post real-time updates to friends and family, something very similar to Facebook. One of the key player’s in Facebook’s Open Graph mission, Bret did not reveal anything about his new startup.
