Rants and Raves

Jason Calacanis surely is one my most favorite entrepreneurs, because the way he represents the startup community, fights for them and becomes their voice. Be it fighting with the pay-per-pitch Angel forums like Keiretsu Forum or hosting the awesome This week in startups, his relentless support for the startup community is truly appreciated.

For the details of the Keiretsu forum controversy, check the October 16th 2009 episode of This week in Startups (TWiST). Keiretsu forum spokesperson Steve Bell can be followed on Twitter at @startuptektv - feel free to follow him to see his viewpoint.

That’s the Twitter bground for the Keiretsu Forum’s Steve Bell - the reason I find this picture funny is that plush jetliner. This reminds me of few of those Amway salesperson trying to recruit me by showing fancy car, golf course, and jetliners. So somehow it just rang a bell when Jason brought out MLM scheme and Keiretsu forum in the TWiST episode.

And can they be little more imaginative on their tagline? “Your source of original information on tech startup”? Wat? A cursory look of StartupTrek website seems very little on useful information, set apart original.

As of me, I am with you Jason, we are part of the Jason Nation.
