Unfriendly: Google Blocking Ex-Employee's "Social Circles" Book (On Yeah, He Now Works At Facebook)
We've written about Paul Adamsa few times now. As a refresher, he's the guy who used to work at Google on user experience and made a popular presentation that suggested how Google could go after Facebook in the social space " namely, friend groups. That, of course, ended up happening with Google+. But before that project was complete, Adams jumped ship to, where else, Facebook. After the recent launch of G+, he stated that seeing it was a bit like "bumping into an ex-girlfriend". Yes, that guy.Anyway, there's been a lot of interest recently in Adams given his history and he took some time today to write a blog postto clear some things up. Why he left Google, what he does at Facebook " it's good stuff. But the real meat is one little nugget of information he drops: Google is blocking him from releasing a book he wrote about his social research called, what else, Social Circles. And Adams is not happy about this at all.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/CBUMIL9Gn2w/
