A catch phrase will go here soon.

My twitter feed now has over 9,000 followers… I’m fairly certain I now have more folks following me on twitter than on my blog.

What does that mean!?

What’s really interesting is that if you look at the top users only four are “real” people: Leo, Justin, Merlin, and Scoble. The others are software (twittervision, twitterriffic), CNN, and a presidential candidate.

Scoble has 12,000 people… wow.

Right now I’m adding around 50 folks a day. If that keeps up I think I’ll have around 25,000 folks in a year. That’s really wild when you think about it.

Twtitter is the #2 referrer of traffic to my blog… behind Google. Wow.

    It’s a powerful tool. I completely blew it off when I heard
    of it. Now it drives 7% of my blog’s traffic.

    that is some good information. I think it is important new users or people that are wanting massive followers can use the same tools upcoming signed recording artist are using. I found 3 links that a new recording artist is using and people say will have over a million followers soon!
    If you are wanting over a million I suggest you get on board with them before they get banned!

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
