More on why the Technorati 100 sucks (look at number #91) and it’s time for someone to build a better one.

FYI: The Blog 500 prize is getting a ton of attention and some of the other search sites have shown mein confidence what they’ve built. Let’s just say Technorati is about to get it’s bell rungBIG TIME.

Note: People have been asking me why I’m hitting up Technorati all the time to fix all their problems. Very simple: blog rankings and blog search have a huge impact on our business as a publisher of blogs. I’d like to see a fair and accurate ranking system (which Technorati isn’t), and I’d like to see the larger search engines give more attention to the blogosphere. Bottom line: I want more eyeballs on blogs because I believe they are producing amazing content.

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
