Google Confirms Kevin Rose and Some of Milk Team Will Join

Google today confirmed the news we brought you yesterday: Kevin Rose and some of the team from his mobile app incubator Milk will be joining the company.

Those joining the company are Rose, noted designer Daniel Burka, biz dev guy Chris Hutchins and designer Joshua Lane. We’d reported yesterday that each of the employees will be receiving on the order of $1 million to $2 million, and investors are getting their money back, plus a little extra.

Milk had already shut down its only app, Oink — though the company’s Web site and Twitter account have yet to note the news.
