This week on the GeekCast, Jason Calacanis joined in for a 45 minute conversation about ways Mahalo can best be monetized through affiliate links, as he explores the affiliate world for the first time.
The ninth episode of the GeekCast Show kicks off with some beatbox magic that puts the SXSW beatbox to shame.
In addition to being something of a working session that could help any new affiliate, we also touched on how Jason is sometimes misquoted, the workaholic lifestyle, and a tale of two Duncans (Duncan Riley of TechCrunch and Shelley Duncan of the New York Yankees).
Also, Jason will be a keynote at SES in New York next week and he promises that he’ll be dropping some “hotness”. I’ll be there, so I’ll try to get a picture of that.

Great podcast. It did prompt one question for Jason:
Amazon (no disclosure required) = “trusted”
Blue Nile (no disclosure required) = “trusted”
Zappos (no disclosure required) = “trusted”
but
PayPerPost (disclosure required) = “evil”

Where does the responsibility to require disclosure lie: publisher (Mahalo/Postie), advertiser (Amazon/HP), or marketplace (CJ/PayPerPost)? If I read Mahalo adoption of CJ/Amazon correctly, the marketplace/advertiser can be “trusted” even if they make no requirement of publishers regarding disclosure. Would that be accurate?
What Jason forgets is that this whole charity idea was my idea. Give me some credit Jason! I don’t mind, because it’s a good thing, but it was my idea
Check post comment #4 from Jason on my post back in Jan 2007.

I thought the backstory on his charity was pretty interesting, cool stuff.
