When you've got big plans, you want folks from big companies is the mantra for some maturing startups--clearly including Friendster who just announced they've brought in ex-AOL sales Veep Charles Barrett to run--yes,you guessed--sales.
More interestingly, perhaps, is the fact that Barrett was the guy who monetized Geocities for Yahoo after that acquisition--a fact that means he should be equally adept at squeezing an ad model out of Friendster, this minute's 'I have millions of users but can't make $$' from them winner.
Also, did I mention that Barrett is a long-time West Coaster?
Go get'em, guys.
