Seattle entrepreneur Greg Linden is leaving Microsoft this week, he wrote on his blog over the weekend. Linden, who previously built the Findory personalized search engine, says he had fun working at the company but decided to leave after "the dissolution of much of Live Labs." Microsoft this month moved about half the people from the applied research group into product teams. Linden, also an Amazon.com veteran, writes that he "will be taking some time before settling into anything new."
Is Kumo launching in 40 days? LiveSide.net points to a post on the Neowin forums about a clock on Microsoft's campus that appears to be counting down to the launch of Microsoft's revamped Live Search engine, currently being tested under the "Kumo" name. The timing would make sense: LiveSide points out that the countdown would end the afternoon before Xi Lu, president of Microsoft's Online Services Business, speaks at the SMX Advanced 2009 conference in Seattle.
