Amazon Search Exec Googles New Job

A9 chief executive Udi Manber has ditched Amazon's search engine subsidiary in favor of a position with Google as a vice president of engineering. AP called Manber "one of the leading lights in the search world, on nearly everyone's "Top Brains in Search" list." Amazon quickly moved to fill the position, issuing a statement naming Dr. David Tennenhouse the new CEO. Tennenhouse formerly toiled at Intel as VP of the Corporate Technology Group and Director of Research. He also previously served as Director of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which many years ago began a networking project that we now know as the Internet. Vint Cerf worked on developing Internet Protocol while at DARPA; he joined Google last year from MCI and recently here.") Drag this to your Bookmarks.
