All Things Digital is reporting that there will be one less thing in the digital media biz: Rafat Ali's role at PaidContent, the blog he founded at the height of the Internet bust, and which he sold nearly two years ago along with the rest of ContentNext, to U.K.-based The Guardian Group.

"Sources said Ali has told co-workers he will leave the company in early July," All Things Digital's Peter Kafka reported this morning, adding that it is not clear what Ali will do next, but that he relocated from Los Angeles to New York recently.
