Gary Secondino's Weblog

Dave Winer, "John Robb is leaving UserLand. This is part of a bigger transition, one that we're not ready to talk about yet. It should be, net-net, good news for Manila and Radio users, and for the weblog community."

And later-"That means there's room for a CEO here, and a management team; it also means it's possible that UserLand will be acquired. But we will only do it if it means continuity and growth for UserLand's customers. One thing hasn't changed, the first two syllables of the company's name. That's been constant through all the changes of the last fifteen years."

This business is responsible for magazine, book, telephone directory and catalog/retail insert printing as well as premedia services. In conjunction with this announcement, RR Donnelley promoted William R. McLennan to president of RR Donnelley Logistics. These promotions are effective immediately.

"Under John's strategic leadership, our logistics business has developed new capabilities and has delivered strong top and bottom line growth," said William L. Davis, chairman, president and chief executive officer for RR Donnelley. "Additionally, John has developed a strong management team at RR Donnelley Logistics."
