Facebook CTO Adam D’Angelo is Leaving
May 12th, 2008 by KaranFacebook’s 23 years old Chief Technology Officer Adam D’Angelo is leaving the company to take some time off according to Facebook and the social-networking site has reportedly confirmed the departure.
According to sources, D’Angelo felt the position no longer fit well with his skills and interests. There have also been rumors of tension between D’Angelo and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who have known to each other since high school.
Given the exodus of numerous Google employees to Facebook and Google & Yahoo responding to Facebook’s popularity with their own social connection offerings, one can just wonder if D’Angelo will be seen in Sunnyvale or Mountain View by the end of the summer, or perhaps a top Googler or Yahoo heading over to Facebook to fill their new VP of Engineering position?
The move comes as Facebook has reportedly borrowed $100 million to finance the expansion of its server farms, and other infrastructure expenses.

hmm…looks like there is a competition among top executives of Google, Yahoo, Facebook to leave their companies.
This move was expected as some differences were reported between him and the Facebook CEO
