My goal in 2008: Meet my friends

1/6/2008

I’ve never been a fan of New Year’s Resolutions. Instead I try to constantly evolve, finding that the “big changes” occur over time and typically it takes multiple tries.

However, I have an idea for a fun New Year’s Resolution for ALL of us.

In 2008 I’d like to meet all of my friends/connections on Twitter, Facebook, Mahalo, and LinkedIn.

That’s around 7,000 unique contacts from around the world I’m guessing. It’s clearly an impossible task to meet them all, but could I meet 1,000 of them? 2,000? Half?

What wold be the best way to do this? Dinners? Meetups? Dim Sum? Parties? Conferences? A 20 city tour?!?

How would you keep track?!

Thoughts?!?!

Here are the raw stats:
Twitter: 5,824
LinkedIn: 2,803
Mahalo: 495
Facebook: 3,283

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
