Google's Chief Technology Advocate -- Michael Jones -- leaves Google https://plus.google.com/+LaurenWeinstein/posts/ahWaXNYMN5h
Google's longtime Chief Technology Advocate Michael Jones has left Google and will now be CEO of Silicon Valley startup Wearality in the virtual reality space. Given Michael's professionally deep association with Google Earth and geo in general, I anticipate some amazing things. However, I must add a thought. It's been my privilege to know Michael, and he's one of the most thoughtful and ethically centered of people it's been my pleasure to know. For many years now as Google's Chief Tech Advocate, he not only has traveled the world helping to explain Google's role and how tech interplays so crucially in our world and societies, but he has also been -- in my opinion -- a significant aspect of what one might call Google's conscience. There are many great people at Google, but I believe it is inarguable that Google is poorer overall for his departure. Best of luck, Michael!
