"Earlier this month AOL Messes Up by Releasing Sensitive Search Data.  Well, the other day they acted on that mistake by forcing the CTO to resign and firing the researcher who released the data, as well as his manager.  AOL wasn't kidding when they said they will be \"giving everything away for free.\"Maureen Govern, who became technology chief last September, has left the company and her position has been temporarily taken by John McKinley, her predecessor. The researcher who released the data \u2013 that was aimed at academics researching search patterns but was widely copied across the web \u2013 and the researcher's supervisor have also been fired, according to people familiar with the matter.Do you feel this move by AOL's top management to release a top manager and the two individuals closest to the slip up was good enough?  Do you think those who decided to make AOL a free portal are more to blame?  Forum discussion at WebmasterWorld."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
