A catch phrase will go here soon.

More on Why comScore is the suck and Quantcast is the rocks!

A friend just sent me this slide showing why b.s. sample based metrics
suck and Quantcat rocks. COMScore is now trying to shake down startups
to correct their bogus data when folks like Quantcast are giving away
*real* tracking for *free*. I’m so disgusted by these guys…. they
actually offered to give me a free correction to their bogus data so I
could convince you–my fellow entrepreneurs–to give your money to
them.
 
I’ve got a message to comscore: not in this lifetime!
 
Like the DEMO conference which abuses startup companies, comScore must
die!!! Don’t give money to comscore people…. don’t feed the trolls!

    Very interesting chart, worth delving into for all the poor folks taxing their marketing budgets to pay COMScore. The example sites are an interesting bunch though, I wonder if this holds across other industries…

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
