Comments on: Calacanis Wants to Ban Affiliate Links; What About Banning Employee Linking? http://www.centernetworks.com/calacanis-affiliate-link-banning Web 2 and Social Media News and Reviews Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:50:56 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Anonymous http://www.centernetworks.com/calacanis-affiliate-link-banning/comment-page-#comment-16740 Anonymous Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-16740 Jason Calacanis can eat a whole bag of dicks. He's a loudmouth moron who pontificates from on high about topics he really doesn't have a full understanding of. He drastically minimizes portions of his argument so that he can support his thesis. He also doesn't do any adequate research into his topic before picking an opinion and cherry picking evidence to support it. He's an alarmist and a twat. Jason Calacanis can eat a whole bag of dicks.

Is that "just as bad" as a paid link? I don't think so, but perhaps I'm not completely objective.

If there purpose is to spread links to Moohulu sites all over, he'd do a lot better hiring cheap labor in Guatamala or Haiti or Vietnam, teach them all how to create and edit blogs and pay them $0.24 per hour if that with no benefits and no latte breaks and fire the Mahululus in Santa Cruz or wherever they are from (I think its Santa Cruz). The previous poster is right he is a loudmouth moreon and cocksuker who should forget about tech and go into whorehouse running that's what he's good at lol. Hah hah.

How cool! Also, I'm glad I never went to any internet 1.0 parties. That sounds horrible. Was that in the 90s? The 90s make me barf. No, I don't remember his excitement about using the telephone on an airplane. But maybe he should stick to doing shit like that instead of talking about stuff that's clearly over his head. Also, the point is moot, because "banning" affiliate links is something a search engine could never effectively do. Maybe they could have back in internet 1.0. But not now. You must be one of those in his adoring masses, eh? I'm also guessing you don't make a living as an affiliate marketer or an SEO. Nah, those people use the web to conduct business and contribute to an actual information economy. Not daydreaming hippie retards like the people in that movie Hackers. You sound old, you probably thought that movie was awesome. (It wasn't) Walking his dog!?! zOMG! How cool!

I've almost given up on Techcrunch for all the same reasons, it becomes hard to tell whether their recommendations are to promote the next Techcrunch 40 or actually a valuable discussion about new web apps. I'd like to think that readers will decide for themselves the bias of an article. Jason however has a valid point in his views on SEO Spam and Affiliate Links. Google could identify this content better and if they did it would improve the quality of their results.

He was there walking his dog outside Chelsea Piers and throwing Internet 1.0 parties that ROCKED when you were all still in high school, so shut the fuck up! Maybe he pontificates 'a rapido' from his quick emotional mantra, but heck, do you remember his excitement when he was able to Skype a call from his airplane seat to his, uh....adoring masses at his blog? THAT was the best. "Now that I've found peace at last, tell me, Jesus, will it last? - The Blue Nile Previous posters –
