Face-Oogle or Goog-Book?
October 9, 2010
I found the information in this write up fascinating–“Facebook Stealing Google’s Staff.” And consider this factoid, which may or may not be spot on, “12.5 percent of Facebookers are ex-Googlers.” Why fiddle around with a personnel or human resources function? Those Googlers know that there may be a pot of gold in the Facebook parking lot. I found this take on the Xooglers different from my reaction:
All we know for sure is that the exodus to the social networking site represents less than one percent of Google’s estimated 22,000 staff, and Google can really afford to lose a few people here and there when it’s rolling in such vast sums on money.
My hunch is that the zest of the Google is waning. “Zest” in this case includes dough or the hope of dough, birds of a feather, and some of the ethos of the pre 2007 Google. Make up your own mind. Anyone care to speculate on what impact the Xooglers will have on Facebook’s marketing methods?
