A catch phrase will go here soon.

Why doesn't the right participate in social news?

9/1/2006

We are having an internal debate at Netscape–which is staffed overwhelmingly by liberals–about why the right isn’t participating in the social news trend.

My personal belief is that the right doesn’t waste their time on speculative technology (think: blogs, podcasting, and social software) until they have enough critical mass to impact voting. From what I understand it is much more effective to go to a church filled with people who actually vote then to waste your time online. Of course, I hate politics, politicians, and the whole slimy process… I know very little about it and don’t like being involved in 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.

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