Blogr launches

My friends at Knallgrau in Vienna have just launched their content sharing service Blogr.com. This is the alpha version but it already has nice features with more to follow – as well as the addition of other languages and extensions to target European countries (disclaimer: I’m in charge of the early marketing in France).

They nicely acknowledged my contribution in their FAQ. Thanks guys!

France - UK, Import/Export

In case you care about the French language, aujourd'hui c'est la 12ème Journée de la Francophonie (12th Day of the Franch Language). So you might want to check what's hapenning near you - maybe some wine and cheese tasting? ;) I had planned to go to see a French movie to celebrate, taking advantage of the French Film Festival here is Sydney but unfortunately, Raquel wasn't feeling well... Anyway, this is a nice opportunity to notice the growing number of French expats around the world. French people settling in the UK is a recurrent BBC topic for instance ( I was even part of one of their article ). And here is the last article in the series. The whole part about French writer Marc Levy sucks (IMHO) but there are some gems: [Penny Zoldan] said her agency, Latitudes, sold about 500 properties a year and estimated that more than 500,000 Britons owned property in France - many more than French people own in Britain. But there are certainly increasing numbers of F...

Skype...Out?

Skype...Out? So, it seems Skype turned down something like $3bn from News Corp. Not their exit strategy then. I hope they had a good reason or good faith in their future. With IM rivals becoming serious on transmitting more than text (like the new Yahoo!Messenger with voice - more here ), it’s a bold bet, especially as it is a game Microsoft is already in. But then, I haven’t done any research on the subject. My guesses: Maybe the 42 million users are turning a nifty profit. Maybe subscription figures are growing exponentially – hard to sell when this kind of figure is through the roof (the kind of problem I wish to have one day). Maybe they think they are worth more than 72$ a user. I know that’s a GONE(c) (Good Old New Economy) way of putting a value on a company. Of course, at 500$ per user, they would be worth $21bn. Then maybe , Niklas Zennström has a huge ambition for his company – he does look like Bill Gates . Finally, maybe they didn’t like the idea of being boug...

Mr. Robot, give me a Job

"Mr Robot, give me a job". That's what you'll need to sing using the air of " Mr. Sandman " to get a job at Google and other large companies pretty soon. I found this article published in January in the New York Time burried deep in my Factiva feeds by cleaning up this week-end: Google Answer To Filling Jobs Is an Algorithm ! In short: Have you ever made a profit from a catering business or dog walking? Do you prefer to work alone or in groups? Have you ever set a world record in anything? The right answers could help get you a job at Google. Google has always wanted to hire people with straight-A report cards and double 800s on their SATs. Now, like an Ivy League school, it is starting to look for more well-rounded candidates, like those who have published books or started their own clubs. Desperate to hire more engineers and sales representatives to staff its rapidly growing search and advertising business, Google -- in typical eccentric fashion -- ...
