Twitter catches big fishes from market

BANGALORE, INDIA: Twitter is really all set to sweep the world wide web this year by its aggressive plans. In its latest move, Twitter is said to have added ten new people in it staff members, who were previously serving Yahoo, Google, YouTube etc.

According to the follower's list prepared by Twitter (http://twitter.com/twitter/team/members) the new additions in the list include Bakari Brock, Paul Soals, Dmitriy Ryaboy and John Sirois. This takes the total headcount in the Twister list to 156.

An article in Tech Crunch says that the new Twitter offices in San Francisco are no less than 10 new staff members in a variety of roles. The article reads, “The biggest fish Twitter caught is likely Bakari Brock, a former attorney at Kilpatrick Stockton who has served as Corporate Counsel for YouTube and Google since September 2007. His recruitment hints at Twitter preparing a proper content distribution play, which would clearly require some serious in-house legal talent.”

It adds, “Brock brings heaps of field experience to the startup, and it’ll be interesting to see what his negotiation skill set and no doubt extensive professional network prove to be worth for Twitter.”

A few other names that have made tot he Twitter list are Nancy Broden (ex-Director of User Experience at Qik), Florian Leibert (ex-Platform Engineer Data Services at Ning), Jinen Kamdar (ex-Group Product Manager at Ning), Edward Ceaser (ex-developer at TiVo), Jane Huang (ex-Software Engineer at 23andMe).

Last month, Twitter announced about the expected developer conference, firehose and many other initiatives. And now, it seems that the social networking site is all charged up to beat the competition in their own game with their own people.
