PayPal kicks back at Google

2/8/2007

It was really aggressive for Google to give away $10 with their new PayPal killer “Google Checkout” a couple of weeks ago.

It was even more aggressive for them to promo Checkout on the Google homepage.

It looks like PayPal is responding by giving away $15.

If this was 1999 and these weren’t two highly profitable companies I would be thinking “bubble,” but it’s obvious this is just a dog fight for customers.

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
