Matt Cutts of Google announced that they just recently hired Adam Lasnik to help him with Webmaster communication. Matt has been kind over the last few months to have an open communication to webmasters regarding search engine topics and to get feedback on what could be done better.

Since then, I guess Matt has been overwhelmed with correspondences with Webmasters and bringing in some help via Adam Lasnik would be a great move for google.

Adam Lasnik was a Search Engine Marketer and Affiliate Marketer so he's one of the guys from the SEO community. I bet he would be a great addition to google as well as a very fine bridge between the SEO community and google.
