A catch phrase will go here soon.

Interview with Esther

3/2/2006

Back in 1995 I interviewed Esther Dyson (on a Saturday afternoon), and shortly after that I launched Silicon Alley Reporter as my own personal Release 1.0. She was always very generous with me, speaking at any event I held–even when the market sucked and the audiences started to thin out.

Almost ten years after that I met Esther at her office (on a Saturday night–she keeps odd hours) to explain our ideas for Weblogs, Inc. She thought it was a good idea, but not for anyone to do–she thought it was a good idea for me to do it. That made a lot of sense to me.

Anyway, Esther did a great interview here.

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.
