I’ve been tagged by Sarahcpr ! I love this kind of chain when they are really personal, I’ve done already tow of them Five Things People Don’t Know About Me and I eat therefore I am (in french).

These are the rules of this particular meme:

  1. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
  2. People who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules.
  3. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
  4. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

EIGHT random facts. Ok, here it goes…

  1. I used to live with three cats
  2. I keep small memories (items, papers …etc) of my life in a box
  3. I have 7 camera (including 4 lomo) and use 5 of them
  4. One of my favorite woman body part is : the neck because I can hide there.
  5. I try to read poetry every day before i go to bed (when i am at home)
  6. I host couchsurfers
  7. My favorite myth is definitely the Babel one ;-D
  8. I wear allure from chanel

So let’s pass the meme to PhilJ, Louis, Christine, Fred and Fraser.

Tout a cassé cet été : voiture, ordi et téléphone sauf moi ;-D

Je démenage ce week-end… je vais etre silencieux pendant un moment
…. je vais avoir une nouvelle bibliothèque. Silence donc sur ce blog que je vais peut etre soigner de sa schizophrénie en revenant en forme avec deux moi ! Moi
U.[lik]
en anglais et U.[lik]
Moi (hihi) en francais … europe after all ;-D

J’ai passé les vacances d’un bukoswkien panthésiste (raison gardée grâce à mon abstinence passée). Twitter (mon seul moyen de communication) a des
originies littéraires … épistolaires. Merci à laure,
à adrien&thomas et à mes parents. La paille de mon été en carte nomade.

C’est la rentrée ;-D

Chaim_soutineRothkoorange_et_rouge
Last week a user of facebook contacted me because I was the only one (except himself) with the religion pantheism. It was quite funny and the discussion followed on twitter. Yesterday I was quietly reading Notes of a dirty old men by Charles Bukowski and I discovered this quote from the second piece of the book :

"[...] God beat Man always and continually, God being Whatever It Was - a cocksucker machinegun or the paiting of Klee, well, and now, thos nylon legs folding around another damn fool."

That’s one of the best vulgar description of pantheism that I’ve found yet. A machingun against a klee is quite evocative. Maybe Confronting Soutine with Rothko would even work better.

Eric_clmenceau

Joostlogo_2Joost won an award at thenextweb in Amsterdam, no one from the
company was there to take the award, so I took charge of it. It has made a very pleasant trip in Amsterdam (take a look at the slideshow) and now he is back to its right proprietary (le joost propriétaire). In the hands of Eric Clemenceau (European Sales Director)

Joost is very impressive company, the pitch was perfect, the way they present their EPIC future is so brilliant. They will succed. Their vision of advertising is the new revolution. If you work in advertising you should apply (the european team is 3 people only at the moment). They are a real possible Google of video, they have the power, they have the car they will have the girl (as a car ads used to say //  [Bob] you should apply).

A lot of people from the media landscape at this great presentation
(thanks HEC Media) and many of them are already scared by this new possible monster and they are able to say it at loud ;-)Igod_steve_jobs_2

To convince Media they have a pretty simple pitch. Our guys have done Kazaa ! That’s what you can call weapon of mass dissuasion… pretty efficient.

I had a feeling of Steve Jobs … the iDay is larger than we think. People are also queuing for joost (20k a day)

Dealer is the new Portal*

And since i am at it … the next web is also Kevin Rose. Pownce is killer because it’s exactly my core value for twitter (read the first comment)…. Dispatching and pownce will bring it to the next level.  I’m in like with you is for Like minded people. I also need to mention Mahalo as well as Lijit (just raised) for the People Inside (joost has it too)!

The next web is here !! What I want from media / What I want from my friends. How i want to live …

The iDay is … a cleaner Dealer who knows what I want

–> Give me a shoot quick !!

* and U.[lik]
is clearly gonna be part of it. A personnalized dealer* is always better ;-) Especially when you can deal everything you like !!

Pour les Français il faut lire ou relire dans la solitude des champs de coton immédiatement [lvanproosdij] i have one copy for you

Lijit_logo
Thanks Stan.
I’ll never have thought that I would end up in a blogroll with Avc & Chris let alone being just below Apophenia & Fractal of changes (hope they will join lijit quickly).

I am very happy we could work together on People Inside (I think it’s even better than People ready ;-))

  • Lijit & you for the search.
  • U-lik and us for the discovery.

PS: for the european companies you should add, you could start with cocoment, Xing & viadeo (i’ll work on a longer list very quickly).

I had a great meeting this morning .. and it seems that it was a mutual feeling.

On my way to Phil’s Apero Wireless #2 where i was exploring paths to put our netvibes widget on mobile, I stopped in front of an ad campaign ….. I stopped and took a few seconds to think again about the great meeting I had this morning … I stopped because Fred talked to me about a tag (another assonance with the folksonomy world with a french touch in it) he used to see near to his home in london.
Fred Graffiti is from Banksy, my pictures are from here.

Catch_the_panda
Xuoan made my night with this post about webcams.

That’s the good thing about having two screens … you can work and wait for the panda to come in the same time !

And i will get an ice cream for that.

Life is wonderful
