Reading the Tea Leaves, err, Mushrooms #
April 11th, 2008 | In Worth Distraction
The surest sign that Facebook is “the next Google”?
But by all measures gastronomic, Google was still the dominant firm—until now. One of Google’s current chefs is Josef Desimone, who is admired chiefly for the kombucha tea that he ferments from scratch and that gets the employees’ creative juices flowing. Now however, Mr Desimone is smelling the coffee. He has given notice to Google, and will soon start work at Facebook. On Wall Street, no doubt, the short sellers have taken note.
Also, technically kombucha isn’t even a mushroom. But “a symbiosis of bacteria and yeast” was too long for the title.
