9,000 twitter followers.... what does that mean?!

The Jason Calacanis Weblog

Mar 12th 2008 1:50AM 50 a day? I follow only 73 people in all, and during workdays I can't keep up even with that amount.

I wonder if you really can follow more than 100 or 200 people at all.

How to save money running a startup (17 really good tips)

Mar 8th 2008 9:10AM "a top developer will cost $2000 / month."

Quick counting. That's about 4700 PLN.
No, I earn more after tax, I am not a top developer and I live in a nearby, but much cheaper country.
For 2000 USD a month, I don't know. You will get a not too good developer, or a desperate one.

Mar 8th 2008 8:29AM I love the post. Especially the chair part. Honestly, I think about 30-40 minutes a day is wasted with straightening my back + the time I get back "in the flow".

"Perks should be monetary compensation!"
And next thing you know, if you don't pay a bonus, the people start to complain. Monetary compensation is not the best form. I saw it. I felt it.

P2P Part 3

Nov 24th 2007 5:41AM Well, upload is capped in a sense, but charging for it seems more reasonable than banning it.
My only worry is that I know that measured values are gamed constantly in favour of the provider - at least here, and yes, I know for sure, I work in that area.

Charging more sounds sensible - you upload too much, you skip to the next range and pay, say 5 or 10USD more. Compared to my 64USD /month charge it is not that big a raise.

On the other hand, if technically P2P IS helping the ISP as several people pointed it out, maybe you should penalize non-P2P downloads and uploads.
How about that?

Nov 20th 2007 4:52PM You know that completely legal things go over P2P, like World of Worcraft patch distribution, and a lately a lot of online updates and such.
People like that it is faster, easier and convenient. It's a working service for them.

Our world, our rules.
