It's official. Jason DeFillippo is leaving Technorati to work on Metroblogging full time.

Jason says everything you need to know in that post but as you can probably guess it's been one hell of a crazy journey with Metroblogging since we launched and I can't believe it's been over 2 years already. If you've been reading my blog (or not reading it lately since there's been a massive lack of posting) then you know we've been launching city after city and it's pretty safe to assume the silence here has been due to huge piles of behind the scenes work there.

In fact I've been only working part time at sixspace for a while now and focusing a growing amount of time on the blogs. Luckily we've hired an amazing Assistant Gallery Director, Alina Gatti, who has been helping with the transition there.

Back at Metblogs secret headquaters, we've got so much super amazing stuff on the oven right now - I can't wait to show it all off. Think we pulled off a lot in 2005? That's nothing. Buckle up.
