It seems that it’s just that time of year — everyone is leaving some company.

First, Duncan Riley leaves b5media, now Jason Calanis (of Weblogs, Inc. fame) is leaving AOL. The story was first broken at TechCrunch and then picked up by the New York Times.

The news comes after Jason learned CEO, Jonathan Miller, is being replaced with Randy Falco.

In recent months, Mr. Calacanis said he was considering leaving AOL to start a new company. His decision to resign was hastened by the news that Time Warner, AOL’s parent, had replaced Mr. Miller with Randy Falco, the president of the NBC Universal Television Group.

“I’m not inclined to start over with a new guy,” Mr. Calacanis said in an interview on Thursday. As for what to make of the treatment of Mr. Miller, who discovered he was being replaced after a reporter called AOL asking about Mr. Falco’s appointment, Mr. Calacanis said only: “I’m perplexed. Why now?”
