A catch phrase will go here soon.

M2 racks being installed… very exciting. The big iron for Mahalo 2.0 is being installed! (100 servers FTW!)

    100 new servers? Wouldn’t EC2 be cheaper, more expandable,
    quicker to set up?

    Actually, no… a new server is like $1-2k so over three years that’s $30-60 a month.

    Our 100mbit line is $1,000 a month and our cage is like $3,000 a month.

    EC2 is much more than that per month… not sure exact number but probably over $1,000.

    also, EC2 is slower.

    Hi Jason,

    Do you mind me asking what datacenter you are using? Those are pretty good prices. :P

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
