Chris Pirillo has a rocking chat with Weblogs, Inc.. co-founder and impresario Jason Calacanis on the latest installment of his eponymous podcast. If you've ever been in a conversation with either of these guys, you know that neither s ever short of an opinion and that both have overcome any issues with being shy. Chris and I have been to three MSN Search Champs events together and I try to connect with him whenever I'm up in Seattle. Great fun listening to the two of them verbally joust and you can get a few hints about Blogsmith - the engine that powers our network.

"Jason Calacanis joins us for the first hour of the show with some predictions for the new year, insight on Web 2.0 and the business of Web publishing. Chris attempts to get Jason to reveal some AOL trade secrets to no avail although we did get a tip that Blogsmith (the engine powering Weblogs, Inc) may become available as a blogging platform on a limited basis sometime in the new year."
