‘This Week In Startups‘ (TWiST) producer and Kevin Rose body double, Alex Miller is leaving Los Angeles to join Yext, an online yellow pages. The new startup is based in New York City and from what I’m told that is somewhere far far away from gorgeous Southern California. Best of luck with that buddy!
Alex revealed the news in an email to friends today:
Well, it’s official: I’m excited to let you know about a couple big changes in my life: starting next week, I will be moving to New York City and taking a new position as Vice President of Operations with Yext.
In case you aren’t familiar with Yext yet, it’s the “Next Yellow Pages”; offering superior local services for advertisers, publishers and users, and is focused on perfecting the local advertising experience for business and consumers.
So while I can certainly appreciate that cushy new title… the next yellow pages, really? The only thing that’s next for my yellow pages is the recycle bin. Please let us know once you’ve done some of that operating so we can really get excited for you.
Oh and your membership to the Calacanis Protection Agency is in the mail.
