A catch phrase will go here soon.

No predictions yet… but…

1/7/2007

I haven’t done my 2007 predictions yet, but I did answer some questions for the LATimes:

(bonus: Xeni answered the questions as well… visit LATimes for her answer)

Jason Calacanis, co-founder of Weblogs Inc., a network of blogs purchased by AOL, and currently an “entrepreneur in action” at Sequoia Capital, sees the amateur-created space being co-opted by the majors this year. He wrote, “The thing that will change is that the major content producers will start making more Web-based videos. For example, there is no reason that ‘SNL’ couldn’t do a daily news report. If they did it would be 1M viewers a day – easily. In fact, that one spin out might make more money than ‘SNL’ does. That will be the big change: professional produced amateur content. Ironic huh? :-) ” (Yes, he used an emoticon.)

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.
