Weblogs entrepreneur quits AOL
Jason Calacanis, whose startup Weblogs was acquired last year by AOL, has resigned in the wake of CEO Jonathan Miller's replacement by NBC exec Randy Falco. Calacanis remained as chief executive officer of Weblogs after it became an AOL subsidiary, and was this year put in charge of running AOL's Netscape.com division and transforming the Web portal.
The news of Calacanis' departure was first broken by the blog TechCrunch and later confirmed by the New York Times, which quotes Calacanis as saying "I'm not inclined to start over with a new guy," referring to Falco.
Calcanis has also posted a note about his departure on his own blog site.
The Times reports that morale at AOL has been shaken by Miller's surprise departure, and many "saw the shakeup as an affront, given the amount of work they had put into creating a new strategy for AOL."
