*Tech maven Calacanis, shown here emailing yet another hapless writer his interview rules. (Photo by Nick Starr)*Jason McCabe Calacanis is complaining about a Wired reporter who wants to do an interview with him, but refuses to do it via email. He says it's "ironic" that a magazine covering the digital age refuses to use email for its interviews.
Ironic? Hardly, sir. Here at Wired, we are intimately familiar with the vagaries of the information age. Why, only last week we had a series of pneumatic tubes installed which enable the rapid and felicitous communication of rough drafts from the ink-stained wretches laboring in our newsroom to the gleaming, surgical whiteness of our proofreaders' desks.
Granted, we may not be as conversant with this newfangled "e-mail" and other cutting edge technologies as you, Mr. Calacanis, but that does not mean we are slow or dim-witted. In time, we even hope to make our RSS feeds available to the wider world by telegraph machine.
Wired journo won't do email interviews -- ironic
