Jason Calacanis is quitting Facebook tomorrow
It's been a busy week for Jason Calacanis. First, he put his money into "This Week In", and how he's going up against the behemoth that is Facebook. In his most recent e-mail, he wrote:
"I've decided that this Friday at 1 pm Pacific, I will broadcast the deletion of my Facebook page live on the Internet. Simply put, I no longer trust Facebook or Mark Zuckerberg with my information.
Additionally, Facebook has become a waste of time for me. Every minute I put into Facebook is a minute I will never get back... Facebook is a Ponzi scheme run by a very bad actor. The best way to express our discontent with Mark Zuckerberg is to simply walk away."
Calacanis is a self-publicist for the first order and his move today will hardly be noticed by the 400-million-member social network, but he's sticking to a stance he enunciated in December. And it has to be said that Facebook has played right into his hands.
