A catch phrase will go here soon.

digg to pay users? (or "should Netscape allow users to post their own stories on Netscape?")

9/11/2006

Someone credible just told me that digg is going to be paying contributors in the next version. They wouldn’t tell me who told them, but I thought it was interesting that there was even a rumor. I say no way, I can’t see digg going back on their position after saying for months that paying users = corruption.

Perhaps the concept is to do what Newsvine is doing in letting folks post their stories on the site and collect the revenue from those ads. I love that concept and I like the way Newsvine is doing it. However, I’m not sure it’s right for Netscape at this point.

What do Netscape folks think, should we allow users to post their own stories on Netscape?

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.
