Back from Austin

Had a nice trip to Austin where I met with one of the big PC makers. Out of the 30 media buyers/advertising/marketing executives 25+ read Engadget daily–boy did that make my job easy!

Additionally, they all read blogs on a daily basis and one admitted to having a blog (I could tell a couple of more had them and didn’t say anything :-) .

As I mentioned in my last blog post this was an unexpected WIN, which I could have said better. We have always intended to get WIN into the AOL sales system–I’m just shocked and how quickly and effectively it is happening! Oh yeah, they knew who Jeff was.

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
