AOL CTO Shown the Door

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the goodbye dept.

BrewerDude writes "Reuters is reporting that AOL Chief Technical Officer Maureen Govern has resigned from the company. Is this an appropriate penalty for releasing 20 million keyword search results, or is it too harsh, or not harsh enough? What do the slashdot readers think is the appropriate outcome of this fiasco?"

    Anyone else notice this person has almost the same name as the woman who sang the theme to Poseiden Adventure ("if we can hold out through the night..."). In fact, I looked it up and the song ends with a search reference ("we won't be searching anymore").

    I'm surprised that got by their executive recruiters.
