Barak resigns as CEO of Six Apart

lj-biz announced about half an hour ago that Barak Berkowitz has resigned as Chairman and CEO of Six Apart.

Well, actually, they announced they have a new CEO, Chris Alden, and only mention Barak's resignation in passing. Imagine that, 6A being indirect and uncommunicative and beating around the bush.

I'm actually most interested about the fact that he was in charge of their professional products before taking on the role of CEO. To me, that says 6A is moving ahead even more with their corporate view of what LJ should be, and what content is allowed v TOSed. I foresee even worse things for fandom than before with the new leadership they have over there. It was especially telling that in both of the links provided, greater attention was paid to the professional products 6A has and seemed to downplay LJ's role in it all. Very worrying. I'm glad I moved ship to IJ.
