When the founder του 4chan Christopher Poole (γνωστός στο διαδίκτυο σαν moot) ανακοίνωσε ότι αποσύρεται από το Web, πολλοί αναρωτήθηκαν ποιο θα ήταν το επόμενο του βήμα.
A year later, we have our answer.
Through a blog post, Poole has announced he will work for Google, and in a respectable position.
Could he have been hired to save Google+? Or improve Google Photos;
Nobody knows.
Confirmation by Google's Bradley Horowitz, who was head of Google+ in the past, before letting her put up for vice president of the Streams, Photos and Sharing department, may mean a lot, but nothing.
You may have seen the newshttps://t.co/jwjOBocqJk) from @moot. Thrilled he's joining the team! Welcome Chris!

To mention that before Poole's retirement from his famous website, the community had more than 42 billions of page views and over 1 billion visitors.
Nine months later, 4chan was sold to a Japanese company.
Soon after, Poole launched two new companies that focused on art, images, and design, but both closed very soon.
We expect more news about his Google position.
