My old/smart friend Michael has a modest proposal on the use of blogs to track IT projects. Of course, many folks out there are using blogs to track project and increase communication in groups. However, Michael came up with a new buzzword that seems to have legs “plogs.”Plogs are short for project blogs, and Michael talks about the pros and cons of starting one in this solid column. If you’ve got some friends in the industry looking for a 101 article on why their company, or group, should start a blog this is a good story to forward on.

Oh yeah, plogs are also used to describe poetry blogsand medical shoes.

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.

Other twitter accounts you can follow: Video Games, Open Angel Forum, and LAUNCH Conference & Newsletter
