Gibbs to Facebook?

Is President Obama's former Press Secretary Robert Gibbs headed to Facebook?

That's the scuttlebutt today, as reported by the Dealbook blog.

According to the New York Times blog, Gibbs is in talks with the social media giant to help manage the company's communications.

The move could mean millions of dollars for Gibbs, who would reportedly take a senior management role at the company:

"While details of his potential compensation package have yet to be discussed, people briefed on the talks said that he would receive a cash salary as well as shares ahead of the initial offering," Dealbook reports. "Facebook is being valued by some investors at more than $60 billion and could be the largest offering in history."

Neither Gibbs nor Facebook would comment on the report.

But Gibbs would, no doubt, have plenty to do if he took the gig.

Facebook — and its billionaire founder Mark Zuckerberg — has taken plenty of criticism over internet privacy issues. Then, of course, there's all the negative publicity the company received after the release of "The Social Network," one of the most popular films of the year.
