More meta-journalism

6/15/2006

I’m convinced meta-journalism is the piece missing from the Wisdom of Crowds. Doug Rushkoff explained the concept of “meta” to me years ago when we used to go to the Knicks games (those were the days), and reading Jaron Lanier’s Digital Maoism piece in Edge last week was perfectly timed for me.

In his article Jaron talks about how you can’t always trust the hive mind, and he’s right. That is why we created Netscape–to evolved the hive mind.

I’m going to keep posting stories our Netscape Anchors do on hive mind stories 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.

Other twitter accounts you can follow: Video Games, Open Angel Forum, and LAUNCH Conference & Newsletter
