Facebook Grabs Another Googler

Facebook is stacking up the ex-Googlers at a rapid pace. Kara Swisher is reporting that Facebook has grabbed Elliot Schrage, Google’s vice president of global communications and public affairs. This is a big hit to Google and it is a trend that is expected to continue. The most remarkable part of this is that Facebook is going straight to the top for hiring rather than grabbing those that are lower down the chain of command.

According to Kara, Elliot will be reporting directly to Sheryl Sandberg, the new COO at Facebook who also once worked at Google.
