I promised myself I would not post this week, as im on holiday with my daughter for a few days, but I can’t resist congratulating Om Malik as he turns Pro Blogger and ditches his Business2.0 gig.
I think the move had been coming for a while, but I know it must have been a tough decision as when we last spoke a few weeks back it was still undecided — The plunge has been taken though, and with some VC backing (like Aaron, im a little confused by that) there will most likely be some interesting things coming out of GigaOm in coming months.
Congratulations Om!
