Transitions

One of the hardest things about change is that it often involves good people.
We're keeping most of Socialtext as a distributed company, but as Socialtext Founders, we committed a while ago to move to the Bay Area when we took the step to get a physical office. I've written before about the rewards and sacrifices of Foundership. Ed Vielmetti, co-founder and VP of customer service, decided recently not to make the move. The change is constructive and Ed will always be a co-founder of Socialtext. In December of 2002 we took a great risk together, all wore a thousand hats, rolled up sleeves and worked against constraints. And I look forward to a long standing friendship.
