Jason Calacanis Resigns from AOL
Another day another departure. What a dynamic industry we live in.
TechCrunch is breaking the news that Jason Calacanis has resigned from AOL, following the departure of “his mentor”, Jon Miller, former CEO.
Reading Jason’s post this morning about Miller’s exit, it seemed clear he was going too.
Interestingly, that leaves both Netscape and Weblogs Inc back at the ranch. Unless, of course, Jason has done a deal on WIN. See also our post on a recent statement by Miller about a possible sell-off of AOL by Time Warner.
We can only wait and see. In the blog network space it’s been a turbulent 24 hours.
Update: It’s now been confirmed that both Weblogs Inc and Blogsmith — two of Jason Calacanis’s former startups — will remain with AOL, and that Peter Rojas, Chief Editor of Engadget will stay with the Time Warner company. Jason is also leaving behind another brainchild of his, Netscape (in its present form). He must be feeling rather naked this morning.
