Some questions for Mark Jen, recently fired from Google for blogging. If you were really concerned about the firing, would you be using a gmail address, with a blog hosted by a company owned by Google? So far, I think people have picked up that you're technical, you have taken back up reading now that you're unemployed, you've met some interesting people, and that you're trying out AdSense and the Amazon affiliate program. If you were going to be a product manager, wouldn't that sort of thing be second nature? It's great to give the fees to charity, but mentioning the amount of money you're making with AdSense violates the terms of service, and would tend to give a new company pause about how you'd fit in. Interesting article I've just found with more details.
