A catch phrase will go here soon.

Question for Jason: I am working on an internal presentation to our sales force on new media tools for PR – digg, delicious, twitter and was considering adding in Wikipedia. This lead me to wonder how a PR person could use Mahalo to promote their cause.

I just got this question by email:

  • I am working on an internal presentation to our sales force on new media tools for PR – digg, delicious, twitter and was considering adding in Wikipedia. This lead me to wonder how a PR person could use Mahalo to promote their cause.

My response:

There are two things you can do:

1. Request a page be created.

2. Suggest quality links to Mahalo search results. If you look at Mahalo’s iphone page you’ll see a lot of folks suggesting links, and you’ll see us respond to them.

More here.

Since we’re human edited the good sites will get in and the bad sites will not. So, if you submit high-quality links that are BETTER than the links currently listed on a search result you should be able to get listed quickly (2-3 days). If you submit something that is lame/spam/not as good as the other links you will not get listed. It’s very fair considering the fact that it’s done by humans. :-)

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
