Is it just me, or is time speeding up? I feel like this post keeps creeping up faster and faster each week! “Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.” Ha. I don’t know what made me think of that, but let’s go with it.
Glad that’s over. Alright so, we’ve got two new CTOs to follow from last week! Facebook appointed it’s first ever CTO this week, Bret Michaels, who was the companies’ former Director of Platform. Another young buck, who to me looks alarmingly like Prince William’s doppelgänger. Not saying he’s evil, he seems like a cool guy with a borderline rockstar name. Let’s see what magic he’s got up his sleeve. Maybe he should take a quick read of Jason Calcanius’ heated letter to the big buck Zuckerberg. (A mass export button in Facebook? GREAT idea.) And not to take the backseat, is Raymie Stata was also promoted to Yahoo!’s CTO seat from an internal position of Chief Architect. He’s got a lot of interesting things to say about the direction of Yahoo properties, I’ll give you a hint…personalization is the key word there. Oh, and had you heard about “LikeJacking”? I hadn’t either. Read about it here.
an ex-employee decided to spill on his reasons for leaving the company. And speaking of Google, there’s some developments going on that have exposed the fact that the Google Street View team was “accidentally” recording WiFi data during it’s journey through some European streets. There’s quite the drama unfolding here, I suggest you give it a look and let me know what you think…”accident” or “predetermined action”?
