autsch… Creative Weblogging hat Investoren gefunden und die Reaktion von Jason Calacanis, dem ehem. Inhaber von Weblogs Inc. darauf ist nicht gerade positiv. Das hat auch seinen Grund, wie er in Creative-Weblogging: What a bunch of thieves schreibt:
Well, an outfit called Creative-Weblogging has been ripping us off for over a year, and today I’m forced to put a stop to it. These guys have been stealing our HTML code and design for over a year…. The ironic part about this is that these slime buckets raised their first round from two folks I’ve never heard of today. Whoever these loser investors are they should do some due diligence. You guys are investing in a bunch of worthless lies and cheats. Whatever money you gave them is probably embezzled right now. I mean, if you don’t have a problem stealing a persons IP why would you have a problem stealing someones cash? Also, to whoever the loser is who runs Creative-Thieves, don’t you realize that advertisers, the press, and most importantly bloggers are never going to want to associate themselves with a thief? If people think I’m going to get soft just because we were acquired they are sadly, and profoundly, mistaken. I’d tell you idiots you would be hearing from my lawyers, but at this point you should expect a call from AOL’s lawyers.

They look similar in some ways but a thousand other blogs looks just like WIN or CW for that matter. I just don’t understand what Jason Calacanis is really after.
i do understand both positions but at least it is a very fine example, how they try to manipulate the publicity via their blog instead solving it by PM/Phone
[…] erinnert sich einer an den öffentlich ausgetragenen Streit zwischen dem Mr. Oberwichtigtuer Jason Calacanis (von Weblogs Inc.) und seinem Vorwurf, daß Creative Weblogging Inhalte wie auch das komplette Design sich “ausgeliehen” hätten? Thorsten Jacobi von Creative Weblogging hat nunmehr einen Rückzieher gemacht und das Design komplett auf Version 1 zurückgeschraubt. […]
