Today has been filled with news about who got laid off at Yahoo. But this news, that the fellow who was responsible for helping Yahoo run innovative new ventures inside the company, is leaving for Google, well…man. Ouch.
Oh, Good Lord

I don’t see a *ouch* in the news. A man has to go where he can be most successful. If Yahoo is not the place, and Google is, good for him. But frankly i expected ex-yahoo personnel to to join/start startups, which can do something radical. At least i really hope they do. Big companies sometimes stop/discourage you from being radical. Any thoughts?
This is not a very big surprise for me. After all everyone should look after his interests. If Google offered him a better position and payment, it would be stupid to refuse.
yahoo has a ton of folks who ideate in the name of innovation. what it really needs now are people who can focus on execution. i think bradley is in the right place.
I must agree with all of the comments. I think moving to Google is a great move for someone with his expertise. When a company is in the position that Yahoo is in, employees will evaluate their options.
