This has been confirmed by the Yahoo representative and also when Sample was contacted in this regard he confirmed the news as well, but when asked for further details he refused to comment on that. Sample had been doing an important job at the company with his colleagues. He and his colleagues had been responsible for the Silicon Valley Internet giant's late-to-the-social-party strategy. This strategy included of employing stuff regarding social networking globally and to make the social dashboard easy to understand for its users.

Now since he has left the company, of course that's going to be a big blow to the company and now its on Yahoo that how soon it gets successful in finding the better replacement for Sample. We wish Yahoo all the best in this regard.
