Dave Winer has been thinking about advertising a lot these days, and we’ve debated back and forth the need for advertising. He’s taken a long, long view that if the most visionary consumers–along with the masses–make amazing products then the products themselves will not need to be advertised. The thinking being that they are so perfect in hitting our perverbial chords, that they will just draw folks in.

I have to say I’ve thought about this for a long time. JetBlue sells itself because the product hits the chord.

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
