Those who have signed up for Facebook but have let the book collecting dusts, take note. Those of you who have signed up for Adsense but have yet to sign up for Facebook, take note. Those who have both, take even more notes.
For this piece of news might be of interest to you: Facebook has hired Google executive, Sheryl Sandberg, to be the company’s Number Two, taking the position of chief operating officer.
According to a report in the New York Times:
Ms. Sandberg, currently vice president for global online sales and operations at Google, joined the search giant in 2001 and helped develop its immensely lucrative online advertising programs, AdWords and AdSense.
She will join Facebook later this month to work closely with Mr. Zuckerberg, a co-founder of Facebook, the company said Tuesday.
“A big theme of this hire is that there are parts of our operations that, to use a pretty trite phrase, need to be taken to the next level,” Zuckerberg said the report. [Source: The New York Times]
The key phrases “helped develop its immensely lucrative online advertising programs, AdWords and AdSense” and “parts of our operations that, to use a pretty trite phrase, need to be taken to the next level” should send many of us into thinking.
It will be interesting to see what the next level is, pretty trite phrase or not.
