Im assuming this is an April Fools joke.

By now, you’ve probably seen Jeremy Zawodny’s post: he’s joining Google (http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/006571.html), and I’m leaving Google for a new job at Yahoo! This is part of Yahoo!’s acquisition of all Web 2.0 companies (http://www.ysearchblog.com/archives/000276.html) (I did a panel at the Web 2.0 conference, and I recently found out that I’m included in the acquisition). Jeremy is being modest; it’s basically a blogger-for-blogger swap, but he’s got more than three times as many readers on Bloglines, so Google is contributing about 2,500 computers to even out the deal. It’s basically one computer per Bloglines subscriber, so the terms of the swap were “Google gets Jeremy, Yahoo! gets Matt + 2,546 computers,” I believe.
And Jeremy Posted:
I've struggled for a while, trying to figure out how to write this. So long, in fact, that I intended to publish this yesterday but kept stalling. So I'll keep it short and sweet.
I recently left Yahoo to go to work for Google.
In a strange twist, Matt Cutts (http://mattcutts.com/blog/) (who we'd been recruiting forever) recently decided to leave Google and come to Yahoo.
What were the odds of that?
There's a lot more I want to say about this (all the memories and great people left behind), but it'll all happen in good time. Some things are best said after having some time for reflection first.
Anyway, to lessen the confusion (or maybe increase it), I'll be blogging on his site from now on and he'll be here.
Of course, the first post Matt made on Jeremy Z's (yahoo) blog included this photo:
