Sure, if you’re deep into the “web 2.0″ world, and have little experience in actually, you know, making money, it may seem that Calacanis was a “savior” or even important person at AOL. But in reality he was a one-trick pony who was good at talking like he had big ideas, but in reality was good at a very old-school thing: publishing.

Or ideas that were his own and not stolen from others. AOL is a company of smart outspoken people. They just don't spend their days screaming to the press about their great ideas, they try to change from the inside out. Slow, frustrating, but potentially productive. Stop staring at the screaming baby on the podium and look around.</p> I’d have to question Jason having a heart that was useful. Or ideas that were his own and not stolen from others.

Getting rid of Jason is capital-D dumb … he was the one thing AOL/Netscape had going for it.

(At least from the admittedly myopic/narrow view of the web 2.0 world.)
