“If you look at most tech publications, they have major conferences as their revenue,” Jason Calacanis, the blogger and founder of Weblogs, told me. “If you hit too hard, you lose keynotes, ticket buyers, and support in the tech space.” I find it bizarre to bio Calacanis as a "blogger and founder of Weblogs" in the context of this quote. It makes him sound like an informed third party offering his two cents. When in fact Calacanis is less a "blogger" than a major force / champion of startup news via his "this week in startups" podcast, founder of inside.com which reports on startups, and runs Launch Festival which is exactly the kind of major conference he is pointing the finger at. And the author of the piece Nick Bilton has even appeared on Jason's start-up show http://muckrack.com/link/5Gn7/this-week-in-startups http://muckrack.com/link/5Gn7/this-week-in-startups so can't be that he's unaware that the outdated biline doesn't' make sense.
