The heads are rolling at AOL over the recent search engine data clusterfuck.

CTO Maureen Govern and two other employees are now history. John McKinley, AOL’s former CTO, will take over on an interim basis.

According Andrew Weinstein this entire event was caused by a single clueless researcher and a complete lack of oversight by his managers.
