For the last few months I've been working as Editor-in-Chief at Top 10 Sources.

It's been cool; everyone keeps saying how the Web 2.0 thing is so much like the dot-com boom, and well, yes, in a lot of ways we've been partying like it's 1999.  And it's a good group of people, fun project, etc.

But I live 500 miles from the office.

Any of you who know me well understand that I could never really thrive if forced to work by myself all day.  Sometimes at Berkman I would shut my office door, for phone calls or crunch time, but most of the time I was glad to have people stop in and talk to me, and many times a day I would go seek out conversation and idea-bouncing.  Human contact is very important to me.  I've had some of the world's loveliest co-workers.

I want some more.

When I joined Top 10 Sources, I was Josephine Site Editor and built Top 10s.  Then there was a period of quick growth and I took on the Editor-in-Chief role, committing to that through the end of March.  Here it is the end of March, and I'm stepping down.

I'm staying with the company part-time as long as my schedule allows, in whatever way I can.  I believe in the people and the project.  But at this time I am looking for work here in Toronto, so I can build more of a life here, and find a place where my presence is needed every weekday other than my apartment. 

So now I shall job-search as I train the woman who is stepping into my role at TTS.  I have a wide range of experience and talents and I'm sure I will find some company or department which needs a person who makes things go.  And I'll make things go. 

So here's to Top 10 Sources, and here's to having a wonderful life here in Toronto.  I think everyone's going to be just fine.
