Meteor's hire, Kindle signings, Marchex; Bezos and more
Meteor Solutions, which helps companies track conversations as they travel through social media sites, has named Taddy Hall as chief operating officer. Hall, the co-author of the “The Online Advertising Playbook,” is the former Chief Strategy Officer for the Advertising Research Foundation.
Marchex, the Seattle online search and advertising company, said in a regulatory filing that Jonathan Fram, a partner at Seattle VC firm Maveron, has resigned from the company's board. Marchex said the resignation "was not as a result of any disagreement with the Company or its management.” Fram served on the Marchex board since 2003.
Seattle biotech company Oncothyreon has hired Scott Peterson, formerly of ZymoGenetics, to be its vice president for research and development.
Northstar Neuroscience, which said in January it plans to shut down, has taken steps to get delisted from the NASDAQ. John Bowers stepped down as CEO and will be consulting with the company as it dismantles operations, Northstar said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The New York Times has an amusing article about how some authors, including humorist David Sedaris, are being asked to autograph electronic readers like the Kindle at book signings.
