Kagan told TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington about Facebook's plans to expand beyond college students to a professional social network for companies like Microsoft and Apple... A few weeks later, Kagan was fired.
[Kagan] tried to use his role at Facebook to make a name for himself... used to host startup gatherings at Facebook's headquarters... frequently wrote blog posts on his personal site about Facebook's business... Zuckerberg asked [Kagan] to choose between himself and Facebook. Somehow, Kagan still didn't get the message, and he wasn't able to save his job.
