A catch phrase will go here soon.

Lesbians Kissing + Me & Scoble (best headline ever, I know)

9/10/2007

[ Postscript to the last post ]

Of course, my typical Technorati search goes something more like the image.

How me, Scoble, Chris and Ponzi wound up on a page about lesbians making out I will never know…. actually, I do know: some very smart spammers are scrapping content (i.e. taking content) from blogs and automatically pasting it into other sites/blogs which contain a mixture of stolen content, advertisements, and links to porn sites.


This is the kind of index spamming that is destroying the web and a large motivation for why we started Mahalo. All of the sites in our index–and it’s a small index right now, I know–are quality.

Right now 7/8 out of 10 posts listed on Technorati for my searches are spam. Think about how much waster time that is…. there has to be a better way. Like a social graph or something…. ;-)

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
