Blogger Mark Jen is no longer employeed by Google, reports CNet:
While details of Jen's departure are unclear, the newbie Googler ran into trouble at the company almost immediately when he decided to record his impressions of Google on a blog called Ninetyninezeros -- one zero short of the mathematical term known as a "googol."
Jen began making entries in Ninetyninezeros on Jan. 17, and soon drew the notice of other bloggers. Curiosity spiked when the postings temporarily disappeared about a week later.
Jen just joined Google from Microsoft, so CBS Marketwatch provides the inevitable comment:
"Bottom line: While Microsoft has shown itself to be tolerant and supportive of blogging by employees, Mark Jen apparently found his new bosses weren't quite so with it."
Comment: We don't know why Jen was fired, but the story is being picked over at Slashdot, where someone has retrieved the missing comments from his posts from Bloglines.
