Niall Kennedy on Seeking New Horizons

Niall has tendered his resignation at Technorati, effective 1 March:

[from Seeking new horizons

I am leaving Technorati to pursue new opportunities. I submitted my resignation letter this morning and I will be a free agent on March 1. I joined Technorati in February 2005 excited about changing the world of weblogs and introducing people to a new kind of search. Almost a year later my passions at work have eroded and it’s time to find new horizons. Valentines Day is the perfect time to rekindle lost flames.

Hmmm. Most people have forgotten the Niall Kennedy/Technorati self-censorship “imbloglio” of a year ago (see Niall Kennedy and the Spectre of Being Dooced) which will be almost exactly a year after his last day at Technorati. His initial piece that led to the brouhaha was posted 4 March 2005, by my calculation. An amazing coincidence that his departure is 12 months later, almost to the day.

Whatever happened behind closed doors at Technorati, Niall’s a great person. All the best, and I’ll be tracking your progress, Niall!
