Xooglers, an ex-googler blog

In November 1999, I left a very secure job with Big Media for a startup technology company that I was pretty sure would be bankrupt within six months. Why would a 41-year-old father of three take a $25,000 pay cut to work with a bunch of guys who still got carded when they ordered beer with their pizza? It’s a long story, but one I now have lots of time to tell. This blog is partly about that, but mostly about what happened during the following five years and three months, while I served as Director of Consumer Marketing and Brand Management for Google.

This is how the first post of Xooglers begins. It is a new blog written by Doug Edwards, who was Director of Consumer Marketing and Brand Management for Google until recently. As the tag line says, Xooglers pretends to be “A gathering spot for ex-Googlers to reminisce and comment on the latest developments in search”. It might actually be an interesting read, specially if some ex-googlers join the conversation.
