Facebook and Google, and popular new stars
Google - Facebook, and new pop stars
In the global culture industry there is a strange role reversal. We could say that some years ago the popular emotions and affections were deposited in the figures of the pop stars. They may have been the "Spice Girls" an obvious phenomenon in this regard. But without doubt so were the stars of Hollywood.
Relatively few years ago that has changed. The passage of the musicians to sports has been evident with the cult of football players that are expressed in the mass media. Cristiano Ronaldo is a Spice Girl and Lionel Messi could be the next Leonardo DiCaprio.
But it happens that the world of technology does not fall behind. And the object libidinal investment that occurred in these cases of famous individuals of the cultural industry now seems to be on the side of corporate giants such as Google or Facebook.
Usually a few signings in the world of technology made the cover of many publications, but the addition of Matt Papakipos, an engineer at Google, Facebook team is still one of the day's news.
Matt Papakipos is the person who started at the time projects OS and Chrome Google Chrome WebGL GPU. Projects that also led to a few days ago but apparently decided to leave to join the boat that leads Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook.
Anyway, hoarding talent by Facebook is not here because they have also signed to Jocelyn Goldfein, who until now was vice president of VMWare and one of its leading engineers.
So we can say that in recent years Facebook has hired several people who were behind the leading projects in the world of Internet, Matthew and Jocelyn adding the co-founders of Firefox (Blake Ross and Joe Hewitt) and the creators of Gmail , Adsense and Friendfeed (Paul Buchheit and Bret Taylor). We look to see what can come out of such a team and how they help Facebook continue to grow more and more
