For Calacanis, a New Launch Aimed at TechCrunch

Apparently, Jason Calacanis is still mad at Michael Arrington for reportedly denying him his share of the TechCrunch 50 event. In a conversation with the Guardian’s Jemima Kiss, he describes his plan for revenge: An editorial project called Launch that will take the form of an email publication. How will it challenge–and differ from–TechCrunch? Depth, quality and intimacy, according to Calacanis. “If you get people to commit to an email relationship, it’s the deepest most intimate relationship you can have online.”
