Yesterday Tsavo Director of Content Sean Percival announced on his blog, "Yea I hired Mona Nomura and you didn't. :P". Known by some as the "Queen of FriendFeed", Mona will be blogging for the company's new property Twirlit, "a women's site that focuses on beauty, fashion, food, celeb gossip and more".
Nomura has worked as a product manager specializing in software. Otherwise she is a big influencer in social media, particularly on Friendfeed, where people cluster around her promoted items.
Earlier this fall, we covered Sean Percival getting hired as Tsavo's new Director of Content.

boycaught - I'm sure not. the company is getting less stealthy all the time too, as they have disclosed what Mona will be doing there already

Tsavo is going to be much less stealthly in Q1, we just wanted to give folks a preview. We like to build live and let the users watch the iterations as we go. Check out another project one of our projects, http://www.daymix.com

Congrats Mona. I guess this is that "thing you are doing which you could not talk about" hint you dropped over the weekend.

Thank you everyone, so much.
And I am NOT the Queen of FriendFeed!
Posted by: Mona N. | December 29, 2008 6:03 PM
The article is also interesting that it mentions Mona is a software product manager by day. I had no idea what she did, but assumed it had something to do with bacon.
