According to InformationWeek, Mark Jen, the guy who only lasted a few weeks after a controversy over blogging at Google, has landed an engineering job at Plaxo, the company that helps people keep up-to-date contact lists.
A Plaxo spokeswoman says Jen plans to write about the new position on his Weblog shortly.
From InformationWeek:
Jen was hired as a product producer working with Plaxo's engineering team, and today was his first day on the job, according to a spokeswoman for Plaxo. Jen was not immediately available for comment, and there's no mention of a new job on the Weblog that got him into trouble, which he calls "ninetyninezeros."
The Plaxo spokeswoman says Jen plans to write about the new position on his Weblog shortly.
"Plaxo has been, and continues to be a company with a progressive view of the blogosphere, viewing it as an excellent forum for open-dialogue with users of its products and services," she writes in an E-mail message.
