A catch phrase will go here soon.

thanks Fast Company! (or why you souldn't believe your own press)

I’ve never been one to focus on press clips. As far as I’m concerned 90% of press coverage you get is in the review mirror–it’s a reflection of what you’ve done. As such, it’s not very important. You know what you’ve done, and if you’re like me you really don’t care about the past as much as you care about the future.

In my delusional mind Weblogs, Inc. and Silicon Alley Reporter will be footnotes to the Mahalo story (in fact, Silicon Alley Reporter was a footnote to the Weblogs, Inc. story).

Regardless, I really liked the story Fast Company did on Mahalo. I think they really took the time to understand our vision for a new kind of “search service,” and they told that story well.

They also were very kind to name me one of their Most Innovative Business People of 2007. I’m really flattered.

[ Also, they took amazing photos... which means a lot since most folks only remember the photos. :-) ]

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
