The title of this post IS my snark line.
Via The Hill:
The White House has hired a Facebook employee to serve as its first director of product, a new position focusing on software like the “We The People” petition site.
Josh Miller, who announced the job move on his personal website, said that he expects to build off the White House’s existing digital efforts.
“The White House has many digital products — from WhiteHouse.gov to the We the People Petition site,” he said. “It’s a dream to be able to add to and improve this portfolio.
“These initiatives represent amazing progress, and there’s so much more good work to be done,” he continued. “I’m excited to apply what I’ve learned in the technology industry to the ideals of our democracy.”
