    I think they just need to shorten URLs and they can use anybody else’s service so they’ve made their own. As long as it remains at that I don’t see it being important at all. I bet Microsoft, Apple or any other big company with a brand to protect and too much traffic would have to do the same.

    It’ll get important if they do something crazy like pay you a cent for each click because who knows what and put out of business all the other url shorteners (I’m using the term business quite loosely here).

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.
