Facebooker Dave Morin, in this photo snapped at MySpace's San Francisco launch party last week, seems to be gazing longingly at Rupert Murdoch's rival social network. Could he be switching teams? "He seemed to be very friendly with a number of MySpace execs at their god-awful party last week," reports a tipster. "He turned up late and then they all seemed to leave
together to go off somewhere." It might be time for Morin, Facebook's senior platform manager, to make a move. Some developers respect his enthusiasm for Facebook's platform, but one told me, "He's in over his head."
As Facebook hires more grownups, Morin could well be looking for a new challenge. MySpace certainly could use the help. Then again, perhaps he's just visibly consorting with the enemy to scare a promotion out of his bosses. That would suggest Morin's critics have underestimated his cleverness.

They were heading out to the men-only bath houses of course.
I like how the final word in the MySpace platform poster is SUBMIT.
fun rumor, but not very likely.
do the math: Morin joined FB in 2006; he's not even halfway vested yet. whether or not FB's worth $15B, his options are likely very much in the money.
*seriously* doubt it, altho nice try owen ;)
Dave Morin is a total dick. I've known him for years. All he cares about is himself and his materialistic stuff.
