Facebook Grabs Another Google Exec

Erick Schonfeld has posted that one Ethan Beard, a Google executive, will soon depart to become Director of Business Development for the company. One after the next we are watching a number of Google executives depart from the company to join Facebook, the hottest “startup” in Silicon Valley.

Ethan joins a team of other Googlers including COO Sheryl Sandberg, who started at Facebook yesterday, Benjamin Ling, Gideon Yu and Justin Rosenstein. I would say “Oh how the mighty have fallen” but the reality is that while Google’s stock may be at a 52-week low, the company is still near the top of the food chain.
