Anything Wrong With BLATENT Transparency?
I first really got Jason Calacanis on my radar when he gave a dead on keynote at the first PME conference. Sucks that no company has still executed his overall plan. Some have come close, but no one has knocked it out of the park.
So today when I read his link baiting rules post I actually laughed out loud.
It is not every day that you see someone being so open, honest and blatent about looking for people to write about him. It’s either insanity or genius. Either way I don’t care, I just thought it was worth pointing out.
If you want people to write about you giving them a reason to do so is always a good reason and this is exactly what he is doing. Hell, look it’s making me write about it just because it hit a nerve and this case it was my giggle nerve more then anything else.
Yes, putting forth a list like this is an over the top ego stroke, but who cares. That’s part of the fun of blogs and new media across the board. YOU control what you want to put out there and this is what he wants to put out so who can tell him otherwise. That is how it should work and don’t anyone forget that. YOU get to decide what you want to push out to the world and what medium you want to do it via.
Hell, if he wasn’t one of my Twitter Tots I might not have ever heard about it.
Today is looking like it’s going to be a great day on the playground for sure.
