Facebook is nicking Google's staff. Over 10 percent of Facebook's staff used to work for the Big G in the past, according to the New York Times.
Around 200 of Facebook's current employees are ex-Googlers. Facebook has roughly 1,600 employees, making the infiltration, we mean, crossover around 12.5 percent. Significant, with recent talk, especially by us, of Facebook and Google set to become bitter rivals.
A few high profile Google employees have jumped ship, such as Erick Tseng, who was Senior Product Manager for Android. He's not heading Facebook's mobile business, which may result in a Facebook branded smartphone in the future.
So what is going on to prompt Google staff to join Facebook's ranks? It could simply be that both companies share similar interests and are operating in the same sector, with people wanting a change of scenery. Maybe Facebook pays better. Or maybe Facebook is trying to steal Google's staff. Or maybe Google is trying to plant spies to steal Facebook's secrets. Or maybe we're just throwing ideas out there.
All we know for sure is that the exodus to the social notworking site represents less than one percent of Google's estimated 22,000 staff, and Google can really afford to lose a few people here and there when it's rolling in such vast sums on money.
For the past few years, Melissa Petro has been teaching art at P.S. 70 in the Bronx—and more recently, she's been writing about her past as a former sex worker in various publications. Earlier this month, she wrote on the Huffington Post, "From October 2006 to January 2007 I accepted money in exchange for sexual services I provided to men I met online in what was then called the 'erotic services' section of Craigslist.org." Now, the Department of Education has reassigned her during its investigation as P.S. 70 parents say things like "She's not a good role model."
That mother also tells the Post, "I do not want my daughters to find out about this and I do not want my daughters to be around that kind of person," while another says, "I don't want nobody that used to do that to be around my kid. People like that should not be allowed to be anywhere near children."
Petro, who has a MFA in creative nonfiction from the New School, wrote on The Rumpus over the summer about being a stripper in Mexico (she didn't mention the Craigslist sexual services work) and how her past was catching up with her present, thanks to the Internet:
I recently had the experience at my job of being warned by a colleague that other coworkers have begun Googling me. The concern is that I’m an elementary school teacher (teaching art/creative writing at a public school in the South Bronx) as well as a writer, and my writing- at least that which has been published and is therefore “Google-able”- is primarily about my experiences as a sex worker, which occurred some time prior to my becoming a teacher.Since becoming a teacher I have known- hoped, even- that this would be a conversation I’d someday be compelled to have, and while I’ve done nothing at work to encourage such controversy, as a writer and an activist, not to mention former stripper, I’ve never been one to shy away from publicity. I welcome this debate in particular, not only because it explores issues of freedom of speech and the rights of workers to live self-determined lives outside of the workplace, but because, ultimately, here is another opportunity to call into the light the persistent and erroneous insinuation that once a prostitute always a whore- not “whore” in the pro-industry reclamative sense of the word but in its opposite, everything society has told me I am from the moment I first bared my breasts at a tit club, if not before...
...This article is not—not yet, at least— in defense of my job. I also realize it is a not a question of whether an individual can, at one time, have been a sex worker and, today, be a teacher. The reality is that a person can, as I have served at my current position competently for a nearly three years. For me, it is a question of whether society is ready to adapt their schema to accommodate our reality.
It would be better, I suspect, if I were ashamed.
In an off the record conversation, a sympathetic administrator kindly asked if I couldn’t publish under a pseudonym. I wish, for her sake, I could. But for sake of the rights and integrity of myself and every other man or woman who makes or has made choices similar to mine, and then tries to make sense of these choices, I cannot. I learned along the way that “you are only as sick as your secrets.” My writing and performing my work has been my salvation. I wrote myself out of the hell of secrecy and into the body of the woman I am today, capable of making meaning of myself and my experience— more than qualified to manage a classroom and teach kids about art but also, like anyone else, to be more than just my job.

Do you want to make money online, but are not sure the best way to go about it? Then you will be happy to know you're not alone. One of the first things you must do to get started making money online is to have a website. The truth of the matter is you will not make money right away online, there are no get rich quick schemes. Anytime you come across something like that, that is exactly what it is, a scheme. That is something that you should avoid like the plague.
The best way to make money online is to get a website or blog set up and then optimize it. You are building the foundation that is going to help you get started on your road to being successful on the Internet. It does take time to build up rankings on the Internet but then again, that's just a fact of life. Anything worth doing is worth doing right, and this is going to take time.
You need to optimize your site properly, something that many people don't take the time to do. Yes, fresh new content is one of the most important things, but still so is search engine optimization. You can have the best product or have the most interesting content on the Internet but if you are doing things with your website which will not let the search engines find you, then it isn't going to help you.
One of the first things you want to make sure that you don't have on your website is something called JavaScript. JavaScript pop ups are all those little windows set to automatically pop up when you visit a website. I'm pretty sure that anybody that has been on the Internet has experienced them. Usually they're very annoying to Web visitors, so you wouldn't want to have them just for that reason. Additionally, search engine can't read javascript, so never have any of your information in this format.
Making sure that you have fresh content that is updated at least three times a week is a must have. The search engines just love fresh ideas and fresh content, and so do your readers. The best way to go about it would be to publish new content at least three times a week. Make sure that your content is interesting and engauging to your readers and a general rule of thumb is to have your posting be at least 300 words. Go to Google Trends and check out what is hot right now. If there is anything pertaining to your sites content, make a post about it.
Another thing you want to avoid is using too many graphics and pictures. The reason for this is you will have many different types of people accessing your site, some people might be on dial up. Yes there are some people out there still using dial up. Too many graphics will make your website load very slowly, especially to somebody that is on dial-up. So what's going happen if you website is loading so slowly? Yes you guessed it. People are going to close out the window to your website and move on. Additionally for SEO purposes if you do have pictures on your site make sure that you have the alt image tags filled out, this putting keywords where the picture would be, especially useful for the search engines which cannot see pictures.
Ensure that your website is pleasing on the eye. Having too much confusing content and colors that don't go together will make it difficult for your reader. If you have a website put together that is glaring and is going to practically blind your readers, they're going to be quick to click off and go somewhere else. Additionally, a good navigation format is essential as well. If readers cannot find what they're looking for on your site or it's confusing to get to the next page, they're going to get frustrated and leave. Make sure that your site is as user-friendly as possible.
An additional consideration which goes along with having a pleasing website is to not have too many ads. We've all been to those websites that are so cluttered with advertisements that you can't find any useful content on it. This is another reason that people are going to run, not walk, from your website, so to speak. People come to your site looking for information not to see a bunch of ads.
So this is the basis of setting up a successful and readable website. Once you get your website in place correctly, then you just continue to build on that. You'll start to have loyal readers that come to your site to read what you have to say. Once you have established yourself in this way, it will be much easier to be successful at what ever type of online business you are interested in doing. But the real secret to getting started in being successful is to have a really great, informative website. If you follow these instructions then the search engines will find you, and so will your readers who will eventually turn into your clients.
