Joyce Park has been fired from Friendster and assumes it’s because she blogged about her work.
Ross Mayfield has a good, short take on who Park is, how it happened and, more importantly, where the implications are when a YASNS fires a blogger:
There are so many threads in this to be explored. Employee blogging policy, education, leadership, PR, setting market expectations, architecture, supporting advocacy, supporting research, supporting open source, competitive strategy and social network relations.
Except, as he points out, it’s up to us to explore them, because Friendster certainly won’t.

Thanks for posting this, Pete. It’s for sure the hot social networks story of the moment and it definitely leads in a number of interesting directions.
