I love it!

PayPerPost changed their name to IZEA today… a desperate move by a smarmy company that is the direct result of Google smacking down folks who sell paid links (which is what PayPerPost is–paid linking).

The PayPerPost name might as well be “get your blog removed from Google Index” or “How to commit search engine Sepuku.”

I called it back in April…

That being said, the CEO of PayPerPostIZEA, Ted Murphy, is one of the most stubborn and most delusional entrepreneurs I’ve ever met… I mean, the guy let me write “CalacanisCast” on his forehead.. come on! I’m sure he will keep changing his ideas around until a) something works or b) he runs out of money. I wish him luck and hope he moves from scams like convert marketing to transparent marketing.

… and now we pray to the Google Gods:

Google is good…
Google is great…

All hail the Google Gods for removing this plague from our village!

We thank you Google for you love and kindness.

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
