A catch phrase will go here soon.

The best advertisement in blog post style to date…

5/31/2005

We started doing advertisements in blog format months and months ago and they get clicked on 2-10x as much as banner ads.

More importantly, however, they get their message across. This post by Awaken is the best one I have seen yet. It tells you why the servicewhich rips your CDs so you don’t have tois worthy of your cash, and it even links to software which will let you rip your CDs yourself.

Now, that’s confidence, transparency, and authenticity all wrapped into one. I love it.

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
