Jon Miller's legacy…

Great news from the AOL conference call yesterday:

  • Now to AOL, our second strategic priority for last year. During the year, we repositioned AOL as a primarily advertising-driven business and this strategic shift has already yielded strong financial results. AOL’s ad revenue grew 49% in the fourth quarter, and 41% for the full year, to reach a total of almost $1.9 billion. For the last nine months of the year, we believe our ad growth was faster than the industry average, which of course means that AOL was taking share for the first time in many years.

Folks may have had issues with how long it took for Jon to turn around AOL, or his style, but the fact is that in 2006 he pull AOL’s growth way ahead of Yahoo’s and behind Google’s.

For the record: second to Google is first place these days.

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
