After Microsoft laid off startup liaison Don Dodge earlier this month, reactions from the tech community heavily favored Dodge. TechCrunch even shot a bizarre “exit interview” video during which Dodge was treated well and not harmed by his captor Michael Arrington.
Now that Dodge has landed on his feet at Google, there’s some backlash against the initial You-can’t-do-that-to-Don-Dodge gasps. Dan Lyons, AKA Fake Steve Jobs, plays Tim Russert and parses a Google Dodge blog post, in which Dodge’s opinons about Google have been magically adjusted.
Valleywag pulls it all together, with side-by-side, before-and-after opinions:
Before:
“Even Microsoft’s online version of Outlook called Outlook Web Access is far better than Gmail… Gmail… doesn’t compare to Microsoft Outlook.”
Now:
“Outlook… was getting kind of tired. Gmail is new, fast, web based, and has all the features I need. I especially like the way it threads conversations making it easy to keep everything in context… One other subtle thing: no spam. I never realized how much corporate spam invaded my Microsoft inbox.”
