The COO of FaceBook has announved he is leacing–to become a CEO of something else, as yet to be determined.
He gets credfit for making solid the relationship withg Microsoft, and came from a position at Amazon. CEO Zuckerberg, being like…22ish when fb exploded, had an “adult” handed to him as COO as part of the funduing packs that turned the detonation into a nuclear blast.
The implementation of that msft relationship expressed as code on the back end is one of the biggest victories gates has had in the past few years, imho. Now, let’s evaluate it from the standpoint of an AMZN relationship–the same fine people who brought you “mechanical turk” which allows a free market in 60 cent an hour labor.
Is this “adult”?
The CEO of fb evolves some basically off the shelf concepts with a vision of the “operating system for social computing.” and created what i saw yesterday described on a wall as “the wonderful and terrible world of FaceBook.”
As a dataminer and social engineer, fb has potentials that are Huxleyian in potential. Thus far, they have been usede about as Huxley suggested they would go in Brave New World.
To me, the deep story would be did the coo decide to stop being the price of the empire to become the king of something else–or is this really a philosophical difference over the direction of what human beings define as “social”?
