Jason Calacanis Quits AOL

November 17th, 2006 by Loren Baker, Editor | 1 Comment

After his Weblogs Inc empire was acquired by AOL and in the midst of heading up the transformation of Netscape from a one foot in the grave ISP to the next social news monster, Jason Calacanis is moving on.

Jason confirms his leaving on his personal blog.

TechCrunch broke the story (less than two hours after I told everyone here), and the New York Times confirmed it with me by phone this afternoon.

I’ve got a lot to say, but I’m thinking that I’ll just talk about it on the final episode of the Gillmor Gang podcast–which we happen to be doing tomorrow (crazy coincidence I know).

Your pal,

Jason

PS - Thanks to everyone sending emails, IMing, and calling.

So Jason, what’s the next step?
