5 thoughts on “It took Rick Klau to sort it out, again

  1. Nice to see Rick be recognized. I connected with Rick years ago when he was at FeedReader and we’ve kept in touch. He’s always proven to be a real stand up guy and a consummate professional. Google is lucky to have him.

  2. Ugh. Sorry to hear the troubles continue.

    You remember my post in a similar vein– I think Cimmy’s going to remain with Blogger for those blogs, but boy, she was pretty pissed off at first.

    But what holds my attention more these days is Marissa Mayer forcing Flickr to become an Instagram competitor. It’s got me, my father-in-law, and a number of Ex-Voxers pretty bummed– I mean especially those that pursue photography as a hobby and aren’t interested in casual smartphone pictures.

  3. Raschanda, Rick definitely deserves his good reputation. Two incidents, four years apart, and he fixes things in a day. Amazing guy.
       J., I wonder if Mayer is being short-sighted. Instagram is no longer the hot property it once was, though I can see how a year ago it might have been the bee’s knees.

  4. I’m worried, Jack– I’ve read news stories of her days at Google, and she made a LOT of enemies. Reportedly, a group of engineers basically said “Us or her”.

  5. It explains a lot about the confrontational, unhelpful culture I get on the Google support forums and, Rick Klau excepting, some of its staff.
