To explain his reasons of quit from his high level post in Google, he recently wrote a personal blog post and went public, with his writings where he explained that Facebook is topping the online social networking world with Google stumbling with its Buzz and Wave far down comparatively, he with a wish to conquer the today's most popular social network Facebook, took his decision of quitting.

In his post of Tuesday, the former Google executive showed a lament over Google's becoming obsessed with advertising and his efforts to seize the online social networking crown from the famous Facebook.

Referring in his statement to the co-founder of Google Mr. Larry Page, who eventually started serving the company as chief executive in the year 2011, he said "Larry Page himself assumed command to right this wrong".

He also talked in his post about all the efforts that had been put by the company and its employees initially to synch Google+ social networking with the help of company's famous services like search and online video venue YouTube.
