Obviously, despite all the talk of long tails, quitting blogging, and all the other issues flying around lately, there are a hell of a lot of perks to being an A-List blogger, or indeed an A-List anything. One huge perk of not being an A-List blogger occurred to me the other day, however - being able to actually use all these cool new services how they were intended. Take services like Twitter or Friendfeed, for ...

Toda una sopresa. El popular y polémico Jason Calacanis, cofundador de Weblogs Inc y actual CEO de Mahalo, entre otras muchas actividades, anunció en su blog el pasado viernes el fin de su actividad bloguera tras cinco años al pie del cañón. No se pierdan los argumentos: “Lo primero, por favor, no tomen esto como una condena de la blogosfera. Me gustan los blogs y siempre va a ser así. Sin embargo, yo ya he ...

In what is mostly likely to be the most *douchiest* thing that has ever been written by Jason Calacanis, he now declares blogging “dead”. The funny thing is that this particular meme has some legs under other titles, such as “the evolution of conversation”, or “the further maturation of blogging”, or “the atomization of attention”. But to declare blogging dead, and THEN spout off a list of reasons that are so myopic they border on ...

Last week marked the apparent end of one man's blogging career. Most believe that it is a hoax but I know that this individual would never use trickery or magic potions to get more traffic to his startup. This person has created a mailing list to more effectively communicate with his network. I can't link to the mailing list because it was capped at 500 1,000 1,100. Steven Hodson has deciphered the email for the ...

Jason Calacanis founded Weblogs, Inc. and made it popular enough that he was able to sell it to AOL for $25 million back when many people had not even heard of blogs. Calacanis continued blogging after the sale of his company. He used his blog and other channels to promote his Mahalo company but now he claims to be finished with blogging. He has retired with an emotional post on his blog. He says it ...

I haven't left blogging though. Instead, my blogging has evolved and is moving into a better medium. Jason wants to go back to old fashioned email mailing lists, but I'm moving forward into something even better than blogs.Blogs will continue of course, but for those of us who do a lot of blogging and online bookmarking, social networking, online discussions, and social media sharing -- blogs just aren't productive enough anymore. Neither are social networks ...

Jason Calacanis, the supreme linkbaiter he is, goes theatrical in his last post, in which he announced he’s supposedly quitting blogging, replacing it with a smaller, private, mailing list affair. Essentially, he asks a question: has blogging lost its soul? Has it become too large; has the pressure to be quicker than the other guy taken a toll on the quality; is the real conversation (blogs are, after all, conversations) gone from blogging forever? Well, ...

I know that the goodbye post written by Mahalo supremo Jason Calacanis for his blog is supposedly heartfelt, and full of what he no doubt believes (or hopes we will believe) is authentic human emotion, but it still feels all wrong. Is it the fact that it reads like a bad script? Perhaps. And the fact that the photo Jason uses is from Michael Jordan’s retirement press conference (his second, I have to note) probably ...

There is a viable business model out there for twitter. In fact, I hinted at it when I wrote about the service for GigaOM way back in September of 2006. Don’t listen to Calacanis or Farber. There is no “freemium” model for a service that most people haven’t heard of in spite of massive tech press. Om is creative in arguing that folks with lots of followers should pay, but as Arrington points out you ...

With the release of GTA IV imminent everyone wants a glimpse of how the game will really "play" - and they probably don't want to watch the made up "preview" videos.Jason Calacanis twittered this - GTA IV leaked - unsurprisingly the game looks superb and I can't wait to get my hands on a copy.(Caution - the preview does contain some swearing and violence)
