Hey Jason, Over here!

Posted by: Stephen Baker on November 22

I highly enjoyed TechCrunch’s post on the battle between Nick Denton and Jason Calacanis. I won’t repeat all the ins and outs. But the point is that Calacanis attacks Denton, at least in this analysis, by heaping flattery on one of Denton’s bloggers, LifeHacker’s Gina Trepani. The idea is that he’ll bid up her value, and Denton’s costs. Almost makes me wish Jason would pick a fight with McGraw-Hill. For you gourmets out there, by the way, LifeHacker links to a lesson on how to deep fry a turkey.

Deat blogosphere,

My one regret in life is that I was never able to land Stephen Baker as blogger at Weblogs, Inc.

This guy is pure talent, and why he's wasting away at BusinessWeek I'll never know. If I was running a blog business again this guy would be my Michael Jordan... no, my Shaq... no wait, my Jay-Z!

Whatever Baker is getting paid I would double it--and then double it again. The guy is that good.

Best,

Your Pal Jason
