Calacanis Starts Search Engine Firm
April 30th, 2007 by Benjamin KuoValleywag, which covers Silicon Valley rumors and juicy gossip, reports that Jason Calacanis has started a new firm in Santa Monica, funded by Sequoia Capital. Calacanis was behind Weblogs, which he sold in 2005 for $25M to AOL. Calacanis–not a stranger to controversy–has been getting lots of blogosphere attention lately for his refusal to do a phone interview with Wired magazine.
Update: Jason Calacanis has replied to this blog post, saying that the information from Valleywag is 100% false.
