But this is sad. My condolences to his wife and his mother and their friends.
Let’s shove a poll question in front of his eulogy.
I always thought SurveyMonkey was a neat idea, even as I hacked it.

"My thoughts and prayers are with Sheryl and her family. I hope friends will join me in celebrating his life by sharing your memories of Dave on his profile, as his brother Rob suggests."
A statement on SurveyMonkey's website expressed sympathy for Goldberg's passing and reflectedon his character:
"We are deeply saddened to announce that Dave Goldberg passed away suddenly last night. Dave’s genius, courage and leadership were overshadowed only by his compassion, friendship and heart. His greatest love was for his family. Our sympathy goes out to them and to all who were touched by this extraordinary man. We are all heartbroken."
The cause of death is not known.
Sandberg and Goldberg married in 2004, according to a New York Times Wedding announcement. He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard and worked at several technology and music companies before starting at SurveyMonkey in 2009, according to his profile on the online survey company's website.
Let’s shove a poll question in front of his eulogy.
In the excerpt it says killed in avalanche but later says the cause of death is unknown.
What’s up with the post?
An “Avalanche” is tech talk for a popular tweet.
I made that up. Sorry.
Thanks for clarifying. I don’t tweet or do facebook. Don’t text.
Why is this news to be reported to anyone?
"UPDATED Exec Killed in Avalanche, Google Commits $1M to Response Efforts" is a link to a different story that was placed in the middle of this story. (The avalanche and response efforts are both related to the recent Nepal earthquake.)
Doesn’t sound good. The NYTimes says it occurred while they were on vacation together in Europe, but nobody has disclosed the cause of his death, which makes me wonder if it was suicide:

The technical term is "Twitter storm".
There is a brilliant Gulf Stream rich talkmaster who claims to have been the victim of more than one of those, faked by a mere handful of birdies.
If it would make the family look good or gain sympathy, they would release the COD. Possibly he was sick and went over for medical attention.
sad... way to young to die...
Two in one week. That’s progress.
