MAPQUEST API OUT! (or, "the Weblogs-ification of AOL continues!")

3/8/2006

The Weblogs-ification of AOL continues: AIM has an open API, today MapQuest pushed out their API, Ted is blogging, and we’re even–gulp–offering broadband for the same price as dialup!

Let’s keep this train moving folks… the more we open up our platform the more people will use our products and services.

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
