Google Wave Creator Quits, Joins Facebook

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-there-aren't-that-many-choices dept.

srimadman found an interview with Wave creator Lars Rasmussen where he talks about his recent decision to join Facebook, leaving Google behind. Apparently getting personally pitched by Zuckerberg helped. He says, "I've got a job description of 'come hang out with us for a while and we'll see what happens,' which is a pretty exciting thing." The article talks about Big vs Small companies, and notes that about 20% of Facebook's staff are former Googlers.

    WOW, that's amazing! Oh boy those Google people are sooooo brilliant and creative! Really, who cares about Wave? It's just another hack "product" from a company of hacks.
