It’s official! The rumblings about search legend Louis Monier taking a job with Google are true. Searchblog has just posted an interview with the new Google employee.
Monier tells JB that he’s known the Google Guys for years and he’s had a standing invite to come work at the Googleplex. All he had to do was send Larry and e-mail and the move from eBay to Mountain View was a go. Monier also tells Battelle that he has an agenda to work on whatever he wants to at Google. Monier does say that since he’s been working on e-commerce for several years, “a change would be welcome.” He calls the rumors that he might be working on Froogle, “hasty.” Bottom line on what we’ll be doing? We’ll have to wait and see. I wonder if GoogleVista or AltaGoogle are on the horizon. (-:
