Gigablast, Back to one man?

[sidyadav]

I was browsing the Gigablast site, I found the management page seems to be dis-appeared (http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum16/923.htm), perhaps Matt could give us a feedback , so does this mean Gigablast is back to a one man search engine , or still it got deleted because of some other reasons.

Not only the page 'Gigablast Management' on www.gigablast.com/mgmt.html is removed, but also the page 'Jean-Louis Lazzez - Curriculum Vitae' on www.gigablast.com/jl.html (BTW, his name is 'Jean-Louis Lassez' but the title really had the word 'Lazzez'). So it looks Gigablast is back to one man.

Larry Eckel, CMO After graduating from Miami University, Oxford, Ohio with a B.S. in Business Administration, Larry worked ten years in various Product Management positions for Hallmark Cards in Kansas City. ...

Dr. Jean-Louis Lassez, Chief Scientist. Jean-Louis' thorough understanding of information retrieval theory is a great asset to the Gigablast team and will help lead the company into the future. ...

Snippet from the now removed 'Gigablast Management' page

Not sure if Larry Eckel had a page on the site, but now it looks there is no such page.

Dr. Jean-Louis Lassez, Chief Scientist. Jean-Louis' thorough understanding of information retrieval theory is a great asset to the Gigablast team and will help lead the company into the future. ...

I wonder why Dr. Jean-Louis Lassez was fired/removed because it says "thorough understanding of information retrieval theory is a great asset to the Gigablast team and will help lead the company into the future. ..." So has the future ended in Gigablast for Dr. Jean-Louis Lassez?

Larry Eckel and Jean-Louis Lassez are on my board of advisors.

Thanks for the interest,

So Matt,
Does this mean it is back to a 'One man' search engine or is it still what use to be called 'Three Man' or is it that Larry Eckell and Jean-Louis were on board of advisers, are on board of advisors and will be on board of advisors?

One more question, were these 2 people once on a Higher level than Board of advisers?

(I hope you don't mind me asking these questions)

Gigablast has always been a one-man engine. Jean-Louis and Larry were temporary appointments to help me gather financial backing, but they have other priorities right now, however, they are still on my board of advisors.
