So let me see if I've got this straight... He basically stopped doing his blog (Which people visit anonymously) and switched to a communication system that requires registration. But he framed it as "I'm quitting blogging because the blogosphere is messed up" so now everyone's up in arms about the death of blogging and no one is paying attention to the fact that he's building a massive mailing list that he can use to promote whatever he wants.

That Calacanis, still the king!

Good, maybe blogging can go back to the common man instead of being the playground of corporate whores.

Isn't it obvious that blogging (as a business is dead), just take a look at techcrunch's traffic on alexa, it is going down, and fast. You can't be a 1 man band, it just doesn't work, and that's what Mike A is, no one gives a crap about the other writers. I mean Nik Cubribolic?? Get real.

The discussion going on in the FriendFeed comments for this post make me inclined to think Jason's decision was a good one.
