I’ve been using LinkedIn more and more these days mostly people requesting I connect them to someone in my network, but more and more often folks are getting to me via LinkedIn. This is kind of strange since I have a blog and my email is all over the place. It seems like a LinkedIn request is a more formal request then a simple email. Reminds me an early email program called “The Communicator” that I installed at Amnesty International. The software made you say what kind of email you were sending, i.e. a question, an answer, an FYI, a clarification on a question.

People either hated or love “the Communicator” because it was so rigid.

If you want to add me to your LinkedIn I use my jason at calacanis.com email on LinkedIn so, just go for 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
