I’m listening to Andrew Keen’s Google talk. He’s a controversial guy, and he is certainly poking people for a response, but I have to say he’s main points are EXACTLY what I’ve come to learn.

Things that he said that are correct:

1. Sites like Reddit and digg-type sites are too eash to game. CORRECT.
2. The line between advertising and content is being blurred by web 2.0 and that is a bad thing. CORRECT.
3. Payment systems for artists are important and if they don’t have them they will find a way to get them. CORRECT.
4. People are increasingly insulting each other. CORRECT.

Do I love Wikipedia, digg, reddit,

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
