—Petsky Prunier: Former IAC VP Bob Ennis has joined Petsky Prunier to head up the investment bank’s digital media practice. Ennis most recently served as founder and president of Tensor Advisors, a strategic consultancy and banking firm focused on new media.
—Google: Delicious founder Joshua Schacter, who left Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) mid-2008, has resurfaced at Google (NSDQ: GOOG), according to TechCrunch.
