Google hires Mark Zuckerberg's sister to work against Facebook

Arielle Zuckerberg
Google said Tuesday it was buying Wildfire, a startup specialising in advertising on social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Miss Arielle, the younger sister of Mark Zuckerberg (the Facebook co-founder and CEO) works for Wildfire as a junior product manager. After the acquisition, Arielle would become a Google employee and will be expected to work towards undermining her brother's domination in the social networking arena. “Wildfire is a platform for brands to manage their pages, apps, tweets, videos, sponsorships, ads, promotions and more, all in one place”, Google's product management chief Jason Miller said on Wildfire via a blog post. Google's happiness, no doubt, would extend to the fact they've stolen one of Facebook's biggest marketing partners from under the rival's nose. Commenting on the acquisition, older sis Randi Zuckerberg said via Twitter, "Congrats Wildfire! There are officially now more Zuckerberg family members working for Google than Facebook!". That'll be one awkward family reunion alright! Culled from NDTV
