Divester retires…

1/29/2007

Just read a post on Divester (a site I named and started when I was running Weblogs, Inc.) about their closing at the end of the month. It makes sense for AOL, hyper niche sites like divester are never going to get to 1M pages a month which makes them impossible to scale like Autoblog, Engadget, and Joystiq.

I asked the folks at AOL if they would sell it to me. Haven’t heard back yet.

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
