More on the fired Google blogger

An interesting interview with Mark Jen.

“At first, they beat around the bush,” Jen said. “But then they told me my blog had upset people and that I wasn’t a good fit. I asked them if there was anything I could do to change their minds, but it was a one-sided conversation. So I said ‘I’ll see you guys later.’ ”
In a nice piece of symbiotic irony, Jen's site now gets so many hits that he's using Google's AdSense.
