A catch phrase will go here soon.

Nick Denton is not gonna sell Gawker

2/7/2006

I never believed Nick when he told me he wouldn’t sell Gawker (especially not after all my pals at the big portals told me that he was meeting with them). However, watching Valleywag alienate 90% of the industry over the past couple of days in such a personal and vicious way, Nick’s convinced me that he could really care less.

Not only did Nick start this publication up, he’s getting personal in the comments. Take a look, Nick is not only talking about the dynamics of Lloyd Braun’s business relationships, but he’s commenting on the CEO of Google love life!

Say what you will about Denton, the dude really doesn’t care what people think of him. I mean, how long can Gawker Media have a business relationship with Yahoo or Google at this rate?

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
