#12Jason Calacanis follows me on twitter, I presume it's through here. I find this absolutely hilarious because I basically only ever use twitter to claim special offers and send shoutouts to pirate radio stations.
I presume he's using some sort of automated marketing tool to follow lots of people who will then follow him back, the sly dog.
Thinking about it it probably means that those social media influence ranking tools give me quite a lot of points. I love how ePenis is now a real, measurable value.

#13If anyone is interested in more about the Luck Surface Area concept, I believe it was first mentioned on Jason's podcast TechZing. Ep 59: http://techzinglive.com/page/295/techzing-59-jasonism at the 65minute mark
Oh, there's definitely some prior art here. Woody Allen (80% of success is showing up) and Pliny the Elder (fortune favors the bold!) come to mind.
You know you've made it when you appear in the same sentence as Woody Allen.

#14Jason, this is too meta. I clicked this because I knew you wrote it based on the title and thought it would be worth my time to read a well-thought content-filled Jason Roberts article. Imagine my suprise when it was a meta-article about another article you wrote and someone adding you on G+. Come on man.

Pliny the Elder will be so happy to hear that!

Fair enough. I'll try to do a little better next time. But in all fairness it was just an anecdotal G+ post.
