Directors from eBay? Anyone in the valley can tell you how useless a "director" from eBay is. Might as well hire a PR associate from Yahoo. Facebook is the next Google? How about the next Friendster?

The press regularly covers potential candidates for jobs -- go check out the ubiquitous coverage of potential Yahoo CEO candidates and potential presidential cabinet picks for more on that. <br><br>It would be irresponsible of me *not* to publish.
