A catch phrase will go here soon.

Google and AOL, one relationship at a time.

5/18/2006

I wasn’t involved in Google’s investment in AOL in any way other than giving the thumbs up when I heard about it. However, I’ve got a bunch of friends at Google and yesterday I got to have lunch with one of them, Jason Shellen.

Jason came to Google via the Blogger acquisition and built their slick RSS reader. He’s up to some great stuff now as well. The great part is that when we have lunch everything is on the table in terms of colaboration–they own 5% of our company and we make them a large amount of money after all! I’ll keep you posted.

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
