News Corp.'s (NYSE:NWS) MySpace isn't the only social networking site hiring top managers. VentureBeat is reporting that its rival Facebook Inc. has hired Priti Choksi (pictured), a former Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) manager, to lead business development. At Google, Choksi most recently led distribution partnerships and previously was manager of strategic alliances. Neither Facebook nor Choksi has confirmed the report.

Last week, former Facebook chief revenue officer and president of operations Owen Van Natta became chief executive of MySpace. He replaced Chris DeWolfe, who stepped down as part of News Corp. chief digital officer Jonathan Miller's strategy to reinvigorate MySpace. - Suzanne Stevens
