Valleywag Gets it Wrong

I knew I should have been hesitant about publishing that was based on a source that Valleywag received. I definitely learned my lesson about using them as a source and it looks like I wasn’t the only one that bit the bait. As Peter Kafka points out, that’s what you get for posting when you are at your own holiday party. I’ve posted incorrectly previously but quickly learned my lesson about verifying sources.

That’s something that Valleywag doesn’t do and that’s what a gossip blog is good for. Guess I won’t be relying on them for news anytime soon.

Matt, if you haven’t been following every single word Nick has written - unlikely, I know - he was referring to his previous article:

It seemed perfectly believable, but did leave us wondering what the rest of the Facebook staff might be thinking…

True or otherwise, the act is purely reasonable, acceptable, and expected.

Boss is boss. Staff is staff. What the staff might be thinking? Do you think the boss (any boss) would really care?

113 - if the boss were managing a social enterprise, then yes. That’s not the case here though.
