How’s Your Reputation Looking? Do You Want To Fix It?

This week, an article about Reputation Management ran in Nick Bilton’s “Bits” Blog at The New York Times. The article said almost nothing, and I pointed that out.

Ironically, my comment was removed. Here it is was:

Problem is, so far the “reputation management” firms don’t actually manage anything. Reputation.com is a prime example; the good news is that they’re inexpensive, but the bad news is that they do little more than those companies that used to sell you “credit card loss protection”, which when you lost your wallet and needed them to help they’d basically tell you that you would need to contact all your credit card companies.

Arrogance, Intelligence, and Jason Calacanis

The biggest business change of all is when you take on a partner. And hard as that is when the partner brings skills to the table, it can be even harder when they bring money.

Want some?

Jason Calacanis has some for you. Or less specifically, some angel investor or venture capital is ready to pony up the bucks to be in business with you.

I point this out for a couple of reasons.

The Most Important Business Tool? Reputation (DON’T Do THIS)

Jason Calacanis, currently the CEO of Mahalo and a guy with a long track record of creating stuff in the tech world that sells for a bundle of money, isn’t known for being all warm and fuzzy. Or even a particularly nice guy.

OK . . . not direct enough. From all indications, Jason Calacanis is a bit of a jerk.

This week, he managed to outdo himself, responding to a politely-worded resignation letter from one of Mahalo’s employees in a way that can only be called “nasty”.
