Friendster cans coder for blogging
Joyce Park is a coder who worked at Friendster, leading the charge to re-engineer the poky, Java-based back-end with fast PHP. She blogged about it, got slashdotted, got written up in the press -- and got fired. Even though there was nothing confidential in her blog posts, the new CEO shitcanned her.
[I]t's especially ironic because Friendster, of course, is a company that is all about getting people to reveal information about themselves...Link, Link to Jeremy Zawodny's instructions for resigning from Friendster (Thanks, Jeffreyp!)
