Bad day for Wikipedia and digg

3/1/2007

Wikipedia & Wikia get a really bad blackeye today. Wikipedia for giving huge power to someone who lied about their creditals, Wikia for hiring that liar, and Jimbo for brushing off the person being a liar as no big deal.

Hot off the Bury Brigadge controversy, digg is dealing with a WIRED author who paid a service to get his story on the front page of digg. Something I talked about months ago here (I didn’t mention the firm).

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
