Poor guy. And I mean it. Google is a big mess of hierarchy, (yes, they're much better than the average -- that's not saying much). Their "eternal" startup mantra is just that.

Good luck to your future at YouTube!

So, what's your startup?
Plus a few ideas on the back-burner.
"Interestingly enough, the ambitious Aboukhadijeh was a software engineer intern at Facebook when he created Youtube Instant." Hm, I was under the impression Facebook didn't allow side projects. I suppose this doesn't apply to interns?
Not allowing side projects is opposing a force of nature.
Silly move by facebook.

I'm involved with fairbooks.com, as well as lisbeautiful.com. Plus a few ideas on the back-burner.
Cool! Involved with = owner/founder? I like the lisbeautiful concept, that's got a positive vibe to it. Profitable?
