AOL Employees Fired For Releasing Search Queries

[sixty6]

Well justice has been bought and the AOL Employees (2 of them) who released the database of AOL Search queries have been fired!

The CTO is resigning - chief technology officer..

In addition to that, a few have filed complaints with the FTC! You can read my extremely detailed post on it at Modern SEO.

(Digg and shout links removed)

My primary source was ZDNet, but I had other sources to compile my report as well.

Fair warning: I see more and more posts from you that serve no other purpose than to direct forum users to your site. Next time I see it it'll get spam-canned.
