    In the past 4-5 yrs, I’ve had two or three flavors of this business model approach me to talk about Doba.

    Anyway, they buy airtime on networks, it’s similar to an infomercial type deal. So sometimes they say, it’s for our program called XYZ that’s on CNBC or MSNBC. In your case, they’re paying Shatner I guess to use his name and be involved.

    Most of the Posterous post comments are right on, if you called this lady, she’d go on and on about how you have to pass editorial approval, and how exclusive this opportunity might be. It’d take you a good many minutes and point blank direct questions, but at some point, they’d say, the fee for us to be able to make all this work is 30k 40k 50k.

    It’s very borderline, if not over the line, shady. Good to see they target any tech company with some amount of momentum across different industries equally, I was feeling picked on. ;)

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.
