Leo Laporte: Kevin Rose vs. Calacanis
Gadgets & Tech – TWIT's Leo writes: "I have no problem with his offer to pay Digg's top posters....I do have a problem when he insinuates that anyone who doesn't pay is a capitalist pig exploiting his workers."

Kevin Rose challenges Calacanis on paid social bookmarking
Gadgets & Tech – Digg co-funder Kevin Rose goes on a massive attack of Calacanis' plans to hire a dozen top social bookmarkers, but he doesn't seem to have a point about it. I'd actually be interested in hearing what he thinks about paying folks to do social bookmarking, but instead he just personally attacks me. 'Scaped.

On Payment for Peer Production - part II
Gadgets & Tech – The issue is encompassing not just WHETHER Web 2.0 and/or media companies should pay for "amateur" content, but WHAT LEGAL ownership rights should these users accrue. (...) But one thing is for sure: just as the internet itself lost it's "innocence" to commercialism in the mid-nineties, "web 2.0" is making the same transition now.

Netscape's Digg Killer
Gadgets & Tech – Netscape gets 800,000,000+ page views a month, and Digg is only at around 5,000,000. Could this be an actual Digg killer? It has the potential, but this is the Internet, and being first in a space usually means you win. OTOH f there ever was a company that knows something about being first in a market and still losing, it's Netscape!

Calacanis' Huge Red Flag Blows a Zinger at TechCrunch
Gadgets & Tech – Calacanis is coming from the right angle. An age-old angle. If he does it right - and keeps it up - there's a very decent chance that it will work. (...) Netscape is opening up a new way for regular ol' internet users to make money online. This is good, and we don't need six-figure netrepreuners telling us otherwise.

Calacanis's wallet and the Web 2.0 dream
Gadgets & Tech – The question, then, is simple: Will the "amateurs" go pro? If they have a price, will they take it? We are going to start finding out the answer to that question, thanks in some measure to Jason Calacanis. Calacanis, whose company Weblogs was one of the first to pay bloggers, is an unbeliever in the gift economy, and yesterday he in effect called

Reddit's No.3 about the pros and cons of Jasons $1000 per month offer.
News – Pro: Jason's offer would actually allow me to get money for something I do anyway already, so that I can concentrate on some personal projects that realy captivate me. So the option of doing tedious work that rots my brain, just for the money, falls. And that's very attractive. (...) Con: I don't know the Netscape community (...)
