My friend David Sifry has resigned as Technorati‘s CEO because it’s grown to the point where it needs a person with strengths other than the founder’s. He’ll stay on as chairman of the board. The company is looking for a replacement. In the meantime, a triumvirate will act as an Office of the President.

Technorati also announced it’s laid off eight employees in order to “focus” and “adjust our expense structure,” according to Dave’s email. That’s painful. I wish them well.

Dave, too. Dave is one of the people who keep contributing and giving. I can’t wait to see what he does next. (Disclosure: I am on Technorati’s board of advisors.) [Tags: dave_sifry technorati]
