Google seems to be hemorrhaging some of that startup talent. Its great though, gives the younger, more eager employees a chance to excel.

Google started small, look at what a giant it has subsequently become by being the right organisation in the right place at the right time etc.

Going for a new job away from the relative security like your previous employer.

Maybe they (we all, even) need just the kind of open social that he espouses…

OpenSocial is a piece of junk. It is neither open nor is it social. Google has better things to promote now.
