Dustin Moskovitz, the college roommate who helped Mark Zuckerberg start Facebook, intends creating a new internet technology firm.

Moskovitz has said he will leave Facebook to start an Internet firm that engineers efficiencies for existing companies.

Mr Moskovitz, who helped Mr Zuckerberg start the social networking service in their Harvard University dormitory nearly five years ago, is taking Facebook engineer Justin Rosenstein with him on the new business adventure.
