Doug Cook, the director of search at micro-messaging site Twitter, is reported to have left the company.
According to an article on Tech Crunch, Cook has left after just under one year in the post. Twitter has confirmed his departure but not the reason behind it.
The industry site suggests Cook’s exit is due to the search team at Twitter being split into two groups – this part of the operation will be crucial to the company’s launch of sponsored tweets, Twitter’s first attempt to drive revenue through advertising.
