For those you playing along at home… the management team at Weblogs, Inc and how long they stayed at AOL:

  • Shawn Gold (Publisher): 90 days
  • Jason Calacanis (CEO): one year
  • Judith Meskill (COO): one years, five months
  • Brian Alvey (President, co-founder): one year, six months

AOL folks who also left:

  • Jon Miller, CEO
  • Jim Bankoff, EVP
  • Tina Sharkey, SVP
  • Steve Swad, CFO
  • CK Sample (WIN blogger and assistant GM Netscape): about a year.

Who’s left at AOL/Weblogs, Inc (from what I know):

  • Brad Hill
  • Steve Friedman
  • Peter Rojas
  • Ryan Block
  • Barb Dybwad

Interesting how much can change in just a year.

Good luck to Brian who has started ComicMix.com.

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
