Mahalo mailing list snafus

7/3/2007

No comments

We let a bunch of folks into the Mahalo Greenhouse over the last couple of days and, well, the list exploded with activity. We’re moving it to an approval system today so we don’t crush folks again.

Lessons learned:

  1. don’t auto add folks to a discussion list, certainly not without telling them (i learned this a long time ago after making the mistake my team made yesterday–my bad for not getting them my knowledge)
  2. don’t tell 100 folks to introduce themselves on said list

Sorry to folks who woke up with 40+ emails today!

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
