Yahoo isn't the only Valley company hemorrhaging employees. A tipster writes in with another chapter of Google's employee exodus.

I just heard from a friend about another google person who played a big part in the earlier days of the company is raising money for his own startup - this time it is Elad Gil, who supposedly was the key product manager behind google's mobile team. Apparently he worked on google mobile maps, android, and a bunch of other projects early on.

According to his LinkedIn page, Gil has founded an as yet unnamed startup. He joined the search engine in June of 2004, two months before Google's IPO.
