paidContent has learned that Kevin Conroy is leaving his post as AOL's EVP, products, and heading to Spanish-language TV broadcaster Univision as president of interactive media. Before coming to AOL (NYSE: TWX) in 2001 to build AOL Music, Conroy was CMO for new technology at BMG Entertainment, where he worked for eight years. Conroy took on additional duties at AOL last April, when John Burbank departed as CMO less than a year after arriving at AOL. A memo signed by Randy Falco, AOL's chairman and CEO, praised his work on developing iPhone apps for the company and working on the CBS Radio partnership this past summer. No replacement has been announced, though one is expected by tomorrow. Related Industry Moves: AOL CMO Burbank Defects To The Nielsen Company Check out the best business jobs in digital media.

Tanking job market a boon for LinkedIn : While LinkedIn laid off some 10 percent of its staff in November, the financial crisis hasn't been all bad for the business-focused social network, USA Today reports. It has seen increases in performance stats like page views (up 9 percent), invitations sent (up 10 percent), connections (up 11 percent) and member recommendations (up 14 percent) since September 2008, as more people use the site to post resumes and find out about job opportunities. CEO Reid Hoffman (who took the post back from Dan Nye last month) told the paper that the increased usage will help LinkedIn lure ad dollars away from competitors like MySpace and Facebook, and that he expects the trend to continue given the state of the job market. Nickelodeon rolls out "kid's choice" site UPickDaily : Viacom's Nickelodeon launched UPickDaily, a pop-culture site where kids can post and vote on their favorite TV shows, movies, music, games and other content. The beta site features polls and quizzes on topics from "what wild animal would you want to be" to "what's your favorite Wii game so far," and Reuters says the content is moderated. There are display ads alongside the top and right side of the page (though that could change as the site evolves). If handled appropriately in terms of kids' privacy guidelines, there could be a data-mining component reminiscent of Nielsen's now defunct "Hey! Nielsen" social net/market research project.
