I’ve never met Jason, but I’ve always had this love/hate fascination with him. I mean, here’s this guy who is kind of arrogant and occasionally abrasive, yet at the same time very charming and obviously very intelligent. He raised $50 million for Jobster, hired 100 people, and then, to the uneducated eye at least, completely floundered. Now, he’s started social|median, a personalized social news service, where he’s raised $500k, and is the only full-time US employee, with the rest of the team based in India.

If this event was put on by anyone else, I wouldn’t give it a second consideration, but I’m really interested in what Jason has to say.
