Calacanis and Vogelstein: live interview

April 25, 2007 By

If you missed TechMeme today (it was a slow news day, so don’t feel like you missed much) you probably didn’t see the little dustup between Jason Calacanis and a Wired Magazine journalist, who wanted an interview with Jason. Jason wanted to do that interview via email instead of on the phone. Fred Vogelstein, the journalist, didn’t want to do an email interview cause he knows that email interviews often don’t get interesting cause people who write email answers carefully consider their answers to the point of making their answers pretty boring.

I’ve been interviewed by Fred for hours (when I was in Switzerland I spent at least an hour on the phone with him) and always enjoy talking with him.

Anyway, it ended up with Fred and Jason doing the interview on Jason’s podcast. Which is interesting in of itself. I’m listening now. The interview? It’s about TechCrunch’s Mike Arrington.

    Hang on, let me get this straight: this is a blog post from Robert Scoble about a Wired journalist interviewing Jason Calcanis. Then this small world goes into an infinite loop and disappears up its own a***hole.

    Wired is tired, did Fred think blogs were a fad?

    Sorry – this sentance just doesn’t make sense…
    “If you missed TechMeme today (it was a slow news day, so don’t feel like you missed much) you probably saw the little dustup between Jason Calacanis and a Wired Magazine journalist”

    Should that read “you probably didn’t see the little dustup”? I missed TechMeme today and I have no idea what dustup you are talking about… *grin*

    So Jeff has spread his ‘Wrong Said Fred’ meme outward, sure are lottsa people picking on Fred all a sudden…the Steve Rubel Meanness Doctrine takes hold.

    A blog post chiming in with total support concerning a differing blogger, crybabying whining about the interviewing style of a journalist, a journalist, that bloggers have been picking on of late, blogger soccer ball of the moment. Man, if that don’t make the world go round, navel gazing circled and squared.
