> At google, he took a job from someone who was almost certainly way more qualified, both technically and morally.

Get the impression you work at google?



No, I don't work and google and wouldn't work at google, but I know a lot of people who do.


I'm always perplexed that I get down-voted. Seems like a reasonable question. The reason I asked the question, well because I was curious to see if the commentator had more in depth insight into the google / Moot issue.

Google seems to make a ton of money in advertising, etc. But it can’t seem to create a social media network that anybody want to use.

I'm not exactly sure that a commenter has the ability to judge someone's experience and potential job performance. It also sound a little bitter and not support with any facts to support the claim.

I don't know Chris Moot and know a little bit about 4chan. I'm not a big fan of google either.

It seems like Google execs wanted to hire what they thought was the hot new star. You see this happen a lot in Hollywood. If you can't produce new ideas from within your organization, it smart to out source that talent.

Those execs that probably dropped a lot of money Moot are probably out of a job as well.


"I don't know Chris Moot and know a little bit about 4chan."

Ok well you should probably just sit out the conversation then if you are so ignorant of the situation.
