Of course this wasn’t intentional

I wouldn’t be too sure about that, Max!

I noticed it a few hours ago. Somehow I don’t think it was intentional.

He recently changed servers from binhost.com to jasonnation.com. I think some of the mailing-list settings were reset during the switch.

Either way, it certainly brought out the passion in Jason Nation. Here’s one on tonight’s gems:

Mike, on another note — I’m counting over 30 replies so far.

I thought setting up a Facebook group would be the ideal dedication to Jason, his love for the social network and the mess that this newsletter has created today:

I replied ALL to JasonNation!!
– http://bit.ly/jasonnation

Yeah it’s going crazy.

I hope it’s not intentional, that’s not what I signed up for. If it is, I’ll have to come up with a filter for the replies.

Bahhh,, damn thing woke me up with all those stupid replies going to my phone. I don’t mind being on the list for the updates, but I don’t care to hear from these people at 5am

Ya I just noticed this one myself. Intentional or not, it’s got such an old school feel to it that I had to laugh. If it gets out of hand, I’ll definitely unsubscribe.

As I mentioned through the list;

We’re most likely receiving these responses as a result of Jason moving the list from ‘jason@binhost.com’ to a custom domain ‘jasons-list@jasonnation.com’ … The binhost settings probably reset and this became a discussion-list instead of the prior announce-only list.

Can we request an update on the number of subscribers?

I bet that when the apology is sent out, the circulation will have gone way down

PT Barnum strikes again.

I unsubscribed after just 5 replies or so…..I see the storm coming.

annoying as shit.

I appreciate Jason’s opinion (though I don’t particularly agree with the recent facebook hate-a-thon) … but don’t care about an army of cheering fans.

unsubscribed

I’m staying subscribed. This is really fun. One guy just sent out a bit of self-promotion to see if anyone wants to take him on as an intern in the media industry. I hope more people get involved in this massive, uncontrollable discussion.

But sympathies to the guys who like to keep their inboxes under control.

This bloke sounds like a complete tool if you ask me.

And contained in those replies are sycophantic comments and self promoting bloggers.

Total crap.. mistake or not, it’s no surprise. I enjoy Calacanis’s rants from time to time, but they always seem to be about 80% baked. Too much emotion and not enough substance..

What a moron. I’ve had enough of his whinning

Painful amount of spam flowing in, I unsubscribed sharpish.

It’s crashing my Blackberry. Likely a mistake, but not a great way to start a morning.

I’ve unsubscribed, but still the emails are coming in!

(I really hope that’s because the sending queue is yet to flush out).

This again proves Calimanbaby is a follower. Funny how he’s now doing it after Leo recently deleted his (Hmm, what else did he copy from Leo?). This guy has the originality of a fish finger.

so frustrating. i deleted myself a good 40 minutes ago.

Happy not to have subscribed then

Same here. Unsubscribed, they’re still coming. If it keeps this way, I’ll create a rule to autodelete them…

Right, just been Rick-Roll’d…

The list is not ‘revealing’ any email address, it just allows people on the list to send messages to it, and, intentional or not, I think the effect will be a ‘cleansing’ of the list. So it’s healthy. GG Jason!

It’s intentional;

From the info page:

[quote] To post a message to all the list members, send email to jasons-list@jasonnation.com. [/quote]

@ionut you thinka proper cleansing will occur? so people who check their mail on a regular basis will get frustrated and filter or unsubscribe, same for those that find 100+ responses…. not so sure you’d get a cleansing so much as a removal of those too busy to keep up with every message from his fans – they chose to hear his words, not everyones.

Ian

Gaaaah make it stop!!!!

He really needs to get over himself. Yet another insecure geek who gain some power and fame, but at his core is still…yep, you guessed it…an insecure geek.

I switched my settings to daily digest. Hope that helps . Looking forward to Jason’s explanation.

Seems like some kind of publicity stunt to make himself known to the world again, hehe

His online delivery reputation will be screwed now. Expect his future emails to arrive in the spam box of most email providers.
Clearly he know nothing about email deliverability.

oh and he is deleting his facebook account ‘live on line’.. so? does anyone really care?

Yes, it’s an intentional feature of the mailman software.

No, it’s (probably) not intentional that the list was set up that way.

Boring and stupid. @Mark Thomas, you nailed it.

I suggest that we all subscribe, reply all then unsubscribe!!
Lets screw his stupid ‘newsletter’!!

“again” what do you mean “again”?

or subscribe to a load of porn sites using jasonslist@jasons-nation.com. heheh.

Then unsubscribe. That’s what im going to do starting now.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen or read anything online that’s made me think ‘wow, that Calculanus bloke is a really nice guy’. Even watching ‘This week in VC’ with the excellent Mark Suster had me turning off after @jason kept relating everything back to Mahalo and weblogs etc. Tool..

It surprises me how emotional some people can get over a few emails in their inbox… Come on, it will last a few hours and if anything it’s fun People who really suffer from it can get a daily digest (good point) or filter emails automatically or even unsubscribe. And if they don’t have threaded emails, then they only get what they deserve.

My email has been buzzing all day, I am currently here in Europe, and I am waiting for all those folks in America to get up and start…..

Been busy with gmail filters, all morning trying to capture the permutations.

I have always found Jason’s list interesting reading, I cannot believe this was intentional, I certainly hope not….

Conspiracy Theory: Maybe it’s a Zuckerberg hack…

yeah but you will not be very happy of folks subscribe to porn and malware sites using his list email address and then you start to receive a great deal of spam etc???

Agreed, bcurdy. People act like it’s the end of the world. He configed the list wrong. and you got a couple dozen junk emails. Unless it’s 1994 and you’re paying by the byte, there’s little harm here. Funny though. And ironic, given the topic of the post that exploded!

Just as I was starting to like him on Twit, and appreciate his positions (but not his impressions) he does his TWIT Network rip off…its is a rip off Jason…regardless of your SV gentleman’s offer, its wrong. Just amazing how you can rail against Zuck, and are *this* close to acting like him. Start up your network, come up with a different umbrella name, that one is taken.

Agree with you (and Leo…who did it first) on FB, leaving that and your newsletter.

Left the FB -by name only and am looking forward to this Diaspora idea. I have nothing to do with them but I like their mantra. I will sign up, my friends, family and biz associates ‘because’ it is our friendship, relationship and biz and not FB’s or anyone else to sell.

Blob me with adverts- i click 1 out of 100 at most but don’t sucker me anymore so you can line your coffers. Good Luck FB- straighten your shit out and you might get loyalty.

Jason has now addressed the problem and is apologising to subscribers, see update in the post.

Wow…. I glad i woke up at 4am to take care of the sick baby and happened–by chance–to look at Blackberry!

I have no idea what happened, but no one’s email was exposed. somehow the list moved to discussion mode.

i would never do this intentionally… obviously?

also, mike, call me next time!! oh wait, i turned the ringer off to not wake up the baby. ugh.

Convenience sells and I have a strange feeling some tech genius will open the gates again.

Just set up your profile correctly on:
http://jasonnation.com/mailman/listinfo/jasons-list

I actually found the way people chose to use the opportunity to talk to everyone on the list very interesting. From the ironic ‘stop the spam’ replies, to the plugs for websites and even an intern request!

Just a few emails, hardly the end of the world.

The favourite curse-word of people in the tech/online biz is “that’s it! I’m unsubscribing from/unfollowing/unfriending you!”, yelled by a few each time something similar happens.

That’s why I think it’s cleansing. If something like this is a REAL problem for you, then maybe you shouldn’t be on this list. Your loss. It doesn’t end with you and I don’t think it’s convincing anybody else to do it.

The funniest thing was people writing on the list “stop spamming everybody”, which is what they were also doing )

Well only the fools who replied have now exposed their email to everyone. LOL

@Jason says that no one’s email address was exposed.

Hate to break it to you bro’, but I’m seeing all kinds of personal email addresses…

For example:
Mike Tanner
David Gibbs
Sam
Tyler Beerman

made me smile.
I think mark zuckerberg hacked jason and set the flag on listsrv to ‘discussion mode’ …
seriously? storm in a tiny teacup, now abated

Shit happens – get over it!

Just don’t fire another employee again ala facebook style, and this should be okay.

Well, for some people who replied, they got more than their email address published to the mailing list: i.e.: phone numbers.

I know it’s a mistake and unintentional.

But it’s really ironic that Jason’s mistake breached some people’s privacy and spammed the members of the list. All this following a another post where Jason was blasting Facebook’s privacy.

he is very narcissistic. who gives a shit if he is broadcasting his fb deletion? living in a bubble that has little impact. this is not news

So let me get this straight, in a move to “protest” privacy settings you will delete your FB account yet allowing for roughly 22k people on this email list to respond to all. Sounds like a disregard for my privacy if you ask me. Whether this was your intention or not, it is your intention to be attention seeking which turns out to be a move that has completely backfired on you.

You’ve been Calcked!

@Mike Of course this wasn’t intentional,
Are you in The list?? If you were you will
understand, no really need to have a news
about it!!

I was awake when it started happening. I had to quickly unsubscribe.
I hod no idea what the issue was.

I’ll pay $1,000 via PayPal for the list of emails. Contact me via georgemickeyhappy@yahoo.com. Thx.

I was always curious to see what other people were saying..

Unsubscribed. Actually the subject of the email was what pushed me over the edge. Just delete your Facebook account already.

It’s not just him. It’s Leo and Chris Sacca and others.. Don’t you see, the world is changing.

what a dumbass

I had unsubscribed a while ago, so I sidestepped this one.

His insights are at times very inspiring and actually well written. For example I thoroughly enjoyed his advice to entrepreneurs on how to extend their runway in a downturn economy.

However, the PR noise & overall shady practices of Mahalo finally overshadowed his message in my opinion.

Only released names and not email information? Are you f***ing kidding me? Here’s just a snip of what me and 23,000 people received in their email boxes this morning… Ironically the email was about PRIVACY at Facebook. Unbelievable.
(EMAIL ADDRESSES REMOVED)

BTW, those ALL have email addresses associated with them. If you have gmail, click the “show details” link in the header and it will reveal all their email addresses.

I just signed up for Jason’s newsletter, so this was the first one I received….along with a million replies from people I don’t know! Can you say UNSUBSCRIBE!!

FYI, I received emails from jasons-list-bounces@jasonnation.com; on behalf of; Jason Calacanis [therealcalacanis@gmail.com] at 3:50am and 3:54am (Pacific Time) stating “We all make mistakes” with a link http://bit.ly/77X1oO, which goes to a YouTube page with a message at the top, “This video contains content from Sony Music Entertainment, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.”

This is funny.

Couldn’t have happened to a more irrelevant person than J.C.

I think this is all stupid. I got maybe 20 emails from this, and while it’s a little annoying one morning, it’s not like there were 700 emails.

It’s obviously an unintended glitch, and people who quickly unsubscribe based on it are really overreacting. Relax.

Maybe if you techcrunch aholes werent constantly sucking his dick he might not do something like this.

Idiot, you don’t delete the page – you have to go in and actually delete all the separate profile info. Deleting the page, just de-activates the page but FB would still keep your data in the DB in case you ever wanted to re-activate it.
