Judgment made on March 31, 2009: Facebook is replacing its chief financial officer Gideon Yu, which means this prediction came true. Betters got this right. -- The Industry Standard

A year ago Facebook was the hot startup to work for and hired away top Google execs like Sheryl Sandberg and communications guru Elliot Schrage. Now the trend is core Facebook talent like cofounder Dustin Moskovitz, former star Google engineer Benjamin Ling and VP of product management Matt Cohler are leaving the maturing startup.

The latest Facebook defection is Net Jacobsson, who led the social networking site's business development efforts. With microblogging site Twitter replacing Facebook as the hottest startup in Silicon Valley, could more Facebook executives be on the move?

Prediction: A Facebook executive will leave the company by September 1, 2009. A announcement made by Sept. 1 that an executive is leaving will be sufficient for this prediction to be judged favorably. A list of Facebook executives is listed here.
