he he - kids. Get ready for a whole life not fitting well with your skills and interests, unless you get rich enough to outsource everything and buy awesome boats and planes like Larry Ellison.

Which content exactly ?

The future of vampire and werewolf distribution ?

The future of embarassing drunken picture distribution ?

The future of identity theft distribution ?

Facebook jumped the net shark in November.

Er... it sounds more to me like it could be time to go if you're 23 and the job has become so complex and large, everyone that works for you needs to be much older and more experienced than you..

Interesting thing, the Wikipedia article on the ConnectU lawsuit doesn't mention the favorable ruling the ConnectU guys got just before Zuck settled. Funny thing that.

]]> <![CDATA[Facebook CTO leaves a company that's graduating from high school]]> So you've caught Zuck at a weak moment right now.

Just wait, facebook is the future of content distribution. You'll see.

]]> <![CDATA[Facebook CTO leaves a company that's graduating from high school]]> @ThatKid: Precisely my point, especially since 3-4 years seems to be the norm for founders/early employees.

]]> <![CDATA[Facebook CTO leaves a company that's graduating from high school]]> We sure like to complicate things here. How about his % has vested? When that happens, you move on.

Zuck, are you reading this? I think you're way past that line as well, my friend. Take a bow and exit before the whole Facebook falls apart.

]]> <![CDATA[Facebook CTO leaves a company that's graduating from high school]]> @jfarmer: By your standards Zuck would be out by the Series B.

This is not about whether Adam has experience for the job. This is about Zuck showing who is the boss and hiring execs who say: "Yes, Sir!"

]]> <![CDATA[Facebook CTO leaves a company that's graduating from high school]]> @jfarmer: Yes, but echoing what others have said/implied here, they tend to be uh, "strongly encouraged to move on" by the companies, rather than decide on their own.

]]> <![CDATA[Facebook CTO leaves a company that's graduating from high school]]> Adam created the Facebook platform and has known Zuckerberg since High School. This is odd.

Nicholas Carlson

]]> <![CDATA[Facebook CTO leaves a company that's graduating from high school]]> Adam is a great guy and super-smart, but it's common for founding CTOs to move on once the company reaches a certain size, especially if they don't have that kind of experience.

The demands on a CTO for a medium-to-large company is much different than the demands on a CTO for a smaller company.

jfarmer

]]> <![CDATA[Facebook CTO leaves a company that's graduating from high school]]> It actually sorta sounds like he got fired.

ThatKid

]]> <![CDATA[Facebook CTO leaves a company that's graduating from high school]]> Everyone I know over there has told me that Adam is a class act and universally loved. Too bad for Facebook.
