I just installed the commenting system Disqus to manage comments on this blog. Disqus is a hosted service that replace and enhance the native comment system of your blog — Disqus support the most popular blogging engines but can work on any website — by adding threaded comments, video comments, email & mobile replies, tracking [...]

Downtime have been plaguing Twitter for some time now. Twitter is not real time IM, so I don’t really care if I don’t get an update immediatly, but not being able to send your tweet is the most frustrating — especially when you’re using a desktop client; it keeps blocking. Twitter is a sort of [...]

Call me “old school” but I’m going to bring a linklog on this blog. See, I read tons of articles online and I generally don’t have time to write a deep insight about all of them but some are really worth reading — and sharing. I used to share my links on Delicious and Twitter [...]

I have to admit that I’m fond of typography, especially the way it looks on paper. I read lots of articles online but sometimes, I’d like to have a nice hardcopy to read it on the go — reading on paper is still more comfortable than reading on screen. Unfortunately most bloggers and online newspapers [...]

Twitter is getting more and more popular, but it’s not always easy to explain what it is to people outside the blogging world. Common Craft — whose mission is present products and services in plain English using short, unique and understandable videos in a format they call Paperworks — has produced a very nice and [...]

The other day, I had a very interesting conversation with a friend about what and how comment spam works. I though it was a good blog topic as well. What is comment spam? Comment spams are weird comments full of links and garbage you might have seen on some blogs. Unlike junk mail that fill [...]

Writing blogs is easy but when it comes to follow conversations through comments, it’s a pain. I often forgot about all the conversations I’ve started on many blogs; that’s too bad. Sure, there are some services that helps you tracking all your blog conversations, but none of them is really convenient. All these services have [...]

I just finished watching the incredible talk by Jonathan Harris at the TED Conference. He had collected people feelings from millions of blogs. He’s been able to visualize world feelings through innovative living interfaces. The two projects We Feel Fine and Universe are live. Looking at the web like this is a truly different experience.

I just got an invitation to the private beta of Pownce (thanks to Olivier). Powce is a Twitter clone with additional sharing features for files, links and events. Pownce has generated a lot of buzz lately probably because it’s the new born baby of Kevin Rose (the founder of Digg). Pownce received a lot of [...]

Big news! In a couple of days, I’m going to leave France and move to Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It’s funny how big changes in your life happens so quickly. I couldn’t imagine that just three months ago. Before the end of 2006, I was already serious about leaving the company I was working for. Times [...]
