Former Endeca co-founder and chief scientist, Daniel Tunkelang, who jumped ship to Google, protesting that he was not working on its ecommerce technology has left and gone to work on the data science team at LinkedIn, a social networking outfit using Lucene for search and retrieval.
In a recent Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal article, “Another Google Exec Leaves for LinkedIn”. ), Tunkelang said “the decision to leave Google was agonizing, but that he was excited to work with a data set he had coveted for years.”
Those social content and services companies exert a powerful magnetism on Xooglers it seems.
