Nicolas Nguyen onto Yahoo
Clipped May 13
Yahoo! maybe just an empty shell company now.
The reorganizing and downsizing at Yahoo and possibly the executive scandal at the very top of the pyramid are leading to a wave of talent departures at the company: the latest in that story is that Douglas Crockford, a trailblazing JavaScript guru most recently at Yahoo, has joined eBays payment giant PayPal. The news was announced by Bill Scott, PayPals senior director of UI engineering, on his own blog, yesterday. Scott himself had also worked at Yahoo years ago and joined PayPal six months ago from Netflix. Welcome aboard Doug! Stoked to be working with you again , Scott wrote yesterday. (It was a note I first saw via HackerNews.)
