Facebook Does What Carol Bartz Can't: Brings Yahoo Together
No word on whether “Yahoo Alumni!” is the fastest scaling Facebook Group since Facebook launched the feature, but it is probably the most bittersweet, as there is nothing on Yahoo that would currently support this use case and, from what we’re hearing, Yahoo is pretty interested in building a Groups-eqsue product itself.
While the group is private, ambitious recruiters can cross reference the “Members” list with our posts from when it was easier to track such things, “Tracking Former Yahoo Execs – Where Are They Now?” as well as the old Yahoo Alumni Facebook page, which boasts a whopping 3,168 members (Yahoo has around 14,100 current employees).
We’re also working on getting on the inside, and will update this post with resumes if we get a hold of any.
Update: We’re In! And they like us, they really really like us.
