A catch phrase will go here soon.

Comment of the Day: "I would *LOVE* AIM Light."

5/12/2006

From Mitch, who comment on my AIM Light thread:

I would *LOVE* an AIM Light. Something with the barebones
IM features (no games, news, stocks, etc..)

I would also love to have offline messaging (like Yahoo
Messenger), but I guess this is not the place to ask for that.

Response from Jason:

I think we (AOL) should put AIM Light in the download pack with AIM Triton. So, when you go to the folder in your Start Menu you would have it there. People with slow computers or who need all their memory for other apps could load AIM Light most of the time, and some times load the larger, more feature-rich, Triton version. So, if you’re running AIM Light and someone tries to hit you up for a video or audio chat you would get a message that says “JasonCalacanis is trying to start a video chat with you. In order to engage the video chat you need to Launch AIM Triton.”

[ Note: I stole the comment of the day concept from Fred. ]

Jason,

I think I’d pay $1/month or so for a LITE aim client which
didn’t crash my computer, let me dock, and had decent
message handling. I have NEVER willingly clicked on
an ad in AIM, so i’m sure you guys would get more
revenue out of me at least.

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
