Its time to Twitt (Quit) Google

With Twitter becoming the latest hot property on web, there are number of defectors from Google to Twitter. Recently Douglas Bowman, the design lead at Google, left to become the Creative Director at Twitter. He was shortly followed by Dustin Diaz, who was an engineer working on Gmail, who resigned from Google and announced he was taking a job at Twitter. Santosh Jayaram, VP of Search Quality for Google also quit to join Twitter as VP of Operations.

Things are gonna be quite interesting coz since April this year there are talks of Google looking to buyout Twitter. It needs to be seen whether so many senior professionals quitting Google is a matter of coincidence or a well planned strategy.
