Whenever a company has looked at acq-hiring Mojo Supreme (WatchMojo.com video site, BloggerMojo.com network of blogs, MetaMojo.com search technologies and StreetMojo.com database products) they ask me for a list of suggestions regarding the strategic value and integration plans.

Call me crazy, but reading Jason Calacanis’ email re: The First Ten Things the New CEO of MySpace Should Do, I couldn’t help but thinking that this was awfully similar to one of my “1+1=10 game plans” I submit as part of the song and dance, and in fact was Jason’s email to new News Corp. digital head honcho Jon Miller’s after Mr. Miller asked him: “hey Jason, we’re looking for a new guy to run MySpace, what would you do?”  Mr. Miller bought Jason’s last company Weblogs Inc. for $25M when he ran AOL. continue reading...
