A catch phrase will go here soon.

Taking a month off from blogging

5/8/2007

I’ve decided to take a month off from blogging. I will be giving some updates on my Twitter account, but I’m going to be away on vacation and business travel for a couple of weeks so I figured this was as good a time as any to try 30 days off the grid.

Valleywag: Please do post announcing my one-month retirement and how everyone is celebrating or something to that effect. Suggested headlines in the comments please… here are mine:

“Calacanis takes month off; PayPerPost CEO reduces meds”
“Calacanis to retire from blogging–don’t celebrate yet, it’s only for a month”
“Did the Blogger Code of Conduct push Jason away from blogging–read more from insiders after the jump!”
“Calacanis in death spiral–SEOs suspected”

:-)

Have at it….

Update1: Yes, I will still be doing CalacanisCast 3x a month.
Update2: Twitter is a “short blogging” system and my page is located at http://twitter.com/JasonCalacanis. If you go signup there you can get my updates via SMS on your cell phone. No, I do not have an investment in the company, yes I’m a huge fan.
Update3: I’m also going to focus on posting my product wants and desires to ThisNext.com for the month. I’m on the board of thisnext.com and own a token amount of stock for taking that role (this is a standard thing for those of you who have not been on the board of a company). My thisnext page is: http://www.thisnext.com/by/Jason/
Update4: I’ll be back on… 7/14/7 (and we all know that date)

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
