Ignite Paris - First edition, first impressions
After barcamps, here comes Ignites… Philippe Jeudy is surely building a bridge between Paris and San Francisco, and he’s doing this both way : this Californian spirit in Paris sure is refreshing.

Can mobile carriers survive this?
Hope not.
Don’t know about what they’ve done in your country, but here in France, the 3 only mobile carriers have been playing monopolistic games for decades and stealing people’s money for a long, long time.
Recently, I’ve been working for one of them (sorry, I’ve signed an NDA, can’t tell you which one), and they sure […]
Update: French war against RSS really strarted
After Fuzz, LesPipoles and Crossfeeds, it seems now that a large number of french website are going into legal trouble. Even small local websites are being sued because of a content they displayed with an RSS javascript or a widget.

France is about to filter internet
France is about to filter internet content according to music and cinema majors’ request.
We strongly oppose to the filtering of Internet content, either when the majors ask it, or when the european commissioner Frattini does.
French government asked the CEO of FNAC, France biggest CD and DVD retail chain owned by the PPR* Group, to propose […]
The crayon is on the table
Looks like I’m about to teach web 2.0… in english.
Sounds amazing, does’nt it, a french guy teaching to english student about the web… actualy, they’re not english, they are ‘international students’, witch makes english a de facto vernacular language.
I’ll be giving some sort of workshop at the IFM (the prestigious Institut Francais de la Mode) […]
A fresh look at students today
Cause they’re not all dancing ‘Tecktonique’ (if your not french, you might not understand that, and franckly, it’s not a big deal, you’re not missing anything)
My Tailor is rich
Actualy, I don’t have a tailor… Since more and more people are switching to english for their blogs (Loic, Freddy…), I decided to add and english section to mine. After all, since I don’t speak chinese, this is the only language that allows me to reach a significant audience…
So here it is, from now on, […]
