Another blogger has lost their job for blogging. This time it happened at Google. CNET reports that Mark Jen, a Google employee, has been fired for his blog 99zeros which provided an inside look at his employer. Jen was the Associate Product Manager with Google's Adsense program according to Jen's blog. He apparently was told to remove some information from his weblog before he was fired for having it and News.com says the blog was edited on January 26th, 2005. Jen's blog has not been updated since Thursday, January 27, 2005.
