DIGG version 3 and DIGG vs. Netscape debates

6/26/2006

No comments

The “war” between DIGG and Netscape rages on…although not between Kevin Rose and I! The users on DIGG and Netscape are fighting it out… it’s kind of funny in fact. The 94% male, techie audience on DIGG vs. the mass audience on Netscape.

Anway, as everyone knows Kevin and I are, in fact, friends. We IM and email often, and we actually like and respect each other. I’m also good friends with Marc Andreessen who founded Netscape and who is an investor in DIGG (small world huh?).

Anyway, here are a couple of threads where you can see the debate:

It’s kind of funny…. all this press and attention. You would almost think we planned it. ;-)

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.
