hilarious in how deluded she is

@felixculpa is your former boss Sheryl Sandberg?
I consider Mark a friend but he has lied to me on more than one occasion.
iLike was propped up by its nepotistic relationship with Facebook -- Ali and Hadi's relationships with Sandberg are well known. She used her influence to make them a "Great App" and what happens to them? They get bought by MySpace. Now MySpace owns Facebook's Great App.
This is sad.
Does mteam really think that employees and the press are hare-brained?
Even a hare-brained employee (and there are many) could identify the discrepancy between a) the lie about Gideon's departure to the WSJ insinuating it a firing and b) the internal chum-chum memo saying "I will always be grateful to Gideon for his contributions"?
Creating separate versions of the email to chase down leakers is juvenile. Mtema -- no trust for no employees shows that you can't lead. If you were true leaders, employees wouldn't leak (and leak so many versions).
Also interesting is how Sheryl seems to have steered clear out of this. She and Gideon have never gotten along. But I guess the question is, who *does* get along with Sheryl? It's well-known in her husband's social circles that not even her husband's friends like her.
The management team -- Mark, Sheryl, Elliot, Dan, etc. -- has once again, shown its lack of integrity to the whole world. Congrats on destroying the morale of the company even more, guys.
I don't think the inefficiency of the ads is the least of Facebook's worries.
Facebook has been interviewing to hire someone to run monetization to replace the current guy who runs it. Obviously it shows that the current direction isn't working and they care enough to fix it.
I heard that Facebook recruiting did a survey of top graduating computer science students and asked them to rank their order of preference of prospective employers, comparing companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, and Facebook.
Guess where Facebook was ranked by these students? Last.
@growhappy: popular like Sheryl popular?
I've heard that all of Dan's former direct reports at Facebook pretty much despise him as a manager. Dan thought they were incompetent and wasn't shy about stating so publicly, sometimes verging to the point of being verbally abusive during team meetings. When Ethan came, Dan moved them all under Ethan. Good news is now they all seem to be happy and productive working with Ethan.
Rumor has it that Geminder threatened legal action against the company. And so a big check was written to keep her quiet, give the spate of exits.
Not only can Facebook not sell ads, its platform is failing too -- either that or they can't tell the difference between September and November.

[developers.facebook.com]
"In September 2008, we will open up the program, so you can apply for verification if you are interested. In addition to an application form, there will be a processing fee to cover costs of the review and to ensure that our teams focus on the applications that are serious about building user and business value."
Instead of focusing on a political quest that is destroying Facebook, perhaps Sheryl and Elliot would be better off doing work?
What results have Sheryl and Elliot produced since joining Facebook? A dying platform, no ad revenues, mass exodus of talent -- to top it all off, even Camille your admin quit. Great track record, guys. Go back to Google. But I doubt they'll have you back. If you're lucky, maybe Larry will have you in Washington.
these aren't that new, facebook has had them for several months -- they are nice but a bit impractical though.
this is old news. he has been working with them for several months already. ask him when he started his gig there.
oh Meg.... acting as if she were at eBay Live with a powerseller sitting in the front row with a PayPal t-shirt on.
@NickDentonMumsBum: this disemvoweling stuff is confusing
give zuck a break. the statement "once in a hundred years" was crafted by chamath, not zuck. too bad zuck didn't have the foresight to know that it would sound ridiculous.
gideon is a master jedi. don't mess with him!
down 3 percent isn't bad, compared to the general market! go peter!
oh, and her admin Camille quit today. Driven to leave because of Sheryl's overdemanding needs.
yes, get her out of here. let her go destroy some segment of the economy rather than facebook!
