Jason McCabe Calacanis continues making friends:
- Jeff Jarvis came out of the gate with the playa hate, kicking Metroblogging as YAJB (yet another Jason blog). Of course, he goofed and got Jason D. confused with me and got himself fact checked (check yourself kid!).
Also, Jeff neglected to mention in his first post that he had almost the exact same business model a year ago at his day job at Advance.net (see the local blogs here: http://www.nj.com/weblogs/). Hmmm...
Oh yeah, Jeff forgot to mention that he is on the Board of one of Nick Denton's companies, as such his loyalty is to Denton's local blogs (as a total aside you ever notice Jeff giving massive praise to Nick's blogs and dissing everyone else's?). He even goes on to link to Gawker as an example of great local blogs without mentioning his relationship to Nick.
Maybe I should get on IM and "talk" to Jeff... oh wait, I'm not allowed on IM any more! :-)
- This is a relationship medium and that changes how we all do what we do -- for the better... (I think). [...] This all fails if we get pissy and feud. It fails if we snipe and hide. But it succeeds if we keep the discussion going and admit that we're all human.
