Mahalo Answers Widget

The concept behind this new widget is that you can put it on your site
and showcase your expertise… and CHARGE for it! I’m not charging,
but you could put a minimum $10 tip amount for example.

    I can think of lots of bloggers who should have this up on their sites.

    I’d be willing to pay them to answer my questions.

    I hope it spreads. I love what you guys are doing with Answers.

    Jason,
    I love distributed ask boxes and badges, but not sure of the functionality. For example, I’m on your site right now. Why would I ask you a question via the Answers widget ask box (thus going through a third party) as opposed to just leaving you a comment (like this)? Unless you’re charging for the answer in which case facilitating the payment is useful.

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.
