Facebook's COO Owen Van Natta has gotten a bit of a demotion moving from his perch in the last two weeks as chief operating officer to chief revenue officer and vice president of operations. It leaves him in charge of large swatches of the company, including technical operations and the ad business, but takes away what many assumed was his No. 2 slot to Zuckerberg.
Previously, Van Natta, the former vice president of worldwide business and corporate development and the founder and vice president of its A9.com was responsible for the...

Update: A comment from Brandee Barker, Corp Comm at Facebook which provides some clarification:
The Times story is referencing funding information from more than a year ago.

An Open Letter from Mark Zuckerberg:
