Facebook任命FriendFeed联合创始人为新任CTO

admin,2010年6月3日

TechCrunch report：

Facebook has a new chief technology officer, Bret Taylor. The FriendFeed co-founder and initial product manager of Google Maps came to Facebook with the $50 million acquisition of FriendFeed last year. He took on the role of director of platform at Facebook, and led the recent rollout of Facebook’s Open Graph and Open Graph API, which attempts to make social connections on the Web as important as hyperlinks. He played a key role in making the Facebook platform much simpler to build on.

Increasingly, Facebook is looking more and more like FriendFeed, with like buttons sprouting everywhere and a stronger emphasis on the central stream. Taylor brought a lot of the engineering and design sensibilities from FriendFeed and started to instill them in Facebook. Now he is being promoted to the vacant CTO role, where he will oversee other projects beyond the Facebook platform including search and the News Feed/homepage. The CTO position at Facebook has remained unfilled since Adam D’Angelo left in 2008 to start social Q&A service Quora.

        网易科技讯 6月3日消息，据国外媒体报道，Facebook任命布雷•泰勒（Bret Taylor）为新任首席技术官。

        泰勒此前曾是美国社交聚合网站FriendFeed联合创始人、谷歌地图产品经理，去年他通过Facebook对FriendFeed 500万美元的收购加入Facebook。他担任过Facebook平台总监的岗位，并领导了Facebook开放式图形和开放式图形API的项目。开放式图形技术的出现试图使社交联系像互联网访问的超链接地址一样重要。

        Facebook目前在很多地方设置了Like按钮，并在中央显示区加入了重点提示，这使Facebook越来越像FriendFeed。泰勒从FriendFeed带来了许多工程和设计思想，并开始将其运用在Facebook。目前，他被任命为首席技术官，将会管理Facebook平台的其他项目，包括搜索和首页中的动态消息（News Feed）。自从2008年亚当•德安杰洛（Adam D’Angelo）离开Facebook，创立社交Q&A网站Quara以来，Facebook的首席技术官职位一直空缺，直到泰勒上任。（甄翔）
