With all of Mark Zuckerberg's wealth and fame that he has accumulated from the creation of Facebook, one would think that his family would not have to work anymore or at least work for him.
According to a tweet from his Arielle Zuckerberg, (Mark's sister) she is now an official employee of Google (GOOG,Fortune 500).
"Congrats Wildfire! There are officially now more Zuckerberg family members working for Google than Facebook! #awkward ;)," sister Randi Zuckerberg tweeted, indicating to the possibility that another member of their family might also be a Google employee.
Arielle Zuckerberg works as a junior product manager at the Redwood City, Calif-based company, which helps marketers engagement with social media.
"It's a platform for brands to manage their pages, apps, tweets, videos, sponsorships, ads, promotions and more, all in one place," Google product management director Jason Miller wrote on the company's blog. "We're looking forward to creating new opportunities for our clients to engage with people across all social services."
Google refused to comment on whether all of Wildfire's 400 employees would be joining the company following the acquisition.
Mark's sister Randi Zuckerberg, left Facebook last year and in April, announced plans to team up with Bravo for a reality television series based on Silicon Valley entrepreneurs. She is in the progress of starting her own media company.
Facebook and Google are currently in a fierce competition for social-networking dominance.
