[...] Jason Calacanis is always a passionate read because he basically says whatever he thinks, and you believe he really means it even if you don’t agree. Anyhow, here’s a link to a transcript of a keynote he just gave on the Pro PR blog. It has some gems of advice for aspiring bloggers that stood out to me: [...]

I agree - whiners do suck. Hypocrisy is a different story. I respect Jason in many ways, but I'm not a big fan of reblogging. I do love that the guy speaks his mind though too, Pat. Business and media today is a great spot to be in.

Hi John,

I don’t think that’s really what he meant. He never mentioned the Technorati 100, he was mainly referring to those who complain that the “A-list” controls the blogosphere. So he was basically telling those people who are complaining that they suck. Because those who are complaining, are really only complaining because they want to be a part of it or be an elite blogger. For you and me, we may not care if we’re an A-list blogger, and we’re not complaining about it, so I don’t think we suck in Jason’s mind.

Calacanis’ comments about how to be successful are spot on, and I hate whiners too … but that doesn’t mean that all bloggers who are not on the Technorati Top 100 suck.

Frankly, that kinda rubs me the wrong way.

Calacanis: most of us suck

Quick question: are you in the Technorati Top 100? If not, I hate to break the news, but you suck. If it makes you feel any better, I suck too.
Why?
Well, according to Jason Calacanis’ recent keynote at Blog Business Summit, if you don’t ra…
