I’m sure everyone has heard about AOL’s infamous data release a couple of weeks ago.  Today, AOL’s CTO, Maureen Govern resigned as part of the fallout.  A mistake was made, and she took responsibility.  Good for her.  Two other employees who were involved in the debacle were dismissed.

A very poor decision was made, regardless of the intentions.  Privacy concerns are usually the first concerns raised by online users.  With so much information floating about out there, it should be.  I know we spent a lot of time working on our privacy policy, and we don’t face a fraction of the issues AOL does.
