Saying goodbye to ZDNet

Posted by George Ou @ 7:16 am

Categories: Security

Tags: Goodbye, Corporate Law, Blogging, Business Operations, Internet, George Ou

ZDNet blogs has been my online home since 2004.  With the help and a lot of guidance from David Berlind, Stephen Howard-Sarin, and David Grober, I was brought in to the world of blogging and journalism.  I enjoyed my work and
all the conversations here and I hope you found it informative and entertaining.

As of March 26, 2008, I have to say goodbye to ZDNet because of some corporate restructuring.  I have no ill will towards any of my managers and I hold no grudges towards the company.  This will be my last and final post on ZDNet so farewell my friends.

George Ou is Technical Director of ZDNet. See his full profile and disclosure of his industry affiliations.
