Facebook is now cooler than Google
Quite interesting how a social network is now attracting all the top dogs even from what was one of the coolest places to work, Google. The real question is how long will this defection last, and what does Facebook offer to the cool top echelon of Google employees? One thing is for certain, Facebook has become a major place of employment for those wanting to work at the new cool place to work in the valley.
While they have created new jobs for those ex-Googlers that want to continue working at a company, many of the ex-Googlers have left to start their own startup. Funny thing is that Facebook has powered many a small company, mostly companies that have been formed around the openness of the Facebook development platform. So while only so many can work directly for Facebook, there are others like myself that have benefited from the growth of Facebook working at an ad network that launched last July that primarily was formed to help these developers monetize their new applications; or fb apps.
When we started we had no idea if the growth of the development platform would be as extraordinary as it has been. We have been along for the ride and our growth has been quite phenomenal from the inside looking out. Of course as I blogged earlier today on the official Lookery blog, we have had our sights on bigger social networks; even earlier than other ad networks would admit.
Technically Speaking, I think the wild Facebook ride will continue on through 2008 into 2009 and beyond. I just wonder how many more will go work for Facebook? I’m sure we will see some more big names make the eventual stop in for a desk at Facebook HQ.
