Congrats to “my” team at Netscape who released a new version of My Netscape. Of course some of the Web 2.0 kids who were in diapers and/or high school when Netscape was a force falsly claimed that Netscape “stole” the idea for MyNetscape from some of the AJAX start pages out there.

Dave Winer corrects them, reminding them that My Netscape was the original customizable, RSS page. Don Loeb confirms, as does Susan Mernit. I’m so happy there are folks who will step in when the digg/Web 2.0/blog mob starts attacking people.

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
