I just came back from a wonderful wedding near Lyon, France last week-end in a wonderful castle, the Chateau De Chavagneux. I was discussing with family and friends the Apple passion (hysteria?) happening right now, and my father told me that maybe he could try the iPhone 2g now (this is his phone, I hide myself when he uses it, I am afraid that it might explode …), and that it might be a good time to buy one.

I’m trying to be more “present” on Twitter. Until now, I’ve been a silent follower / spectator.
I followed mainly through the Gmail chat client, and when I’m off grid receive all the updates by email. I filter through the twitter-noise and try to get the important updates (market intelligence, benchmark, locations, …).
So I just installed Twitbin, and it didn’t last hald an hour until I got the “Unfortunately you’ve exceeded Twitter’s maximum hourly requests.“.
Yeehaa, I am off to a great start !
I’m not using FriendFeed, and maybe I should. I have a limited use of Twitter, but find it very useful to follow friends and industry news. The reason I don’t use twitter more is the limited conversation visibility and transparency: I have been frustrated by the lack of visibility I have on a thread of messages (not me to many, but external to me, so as a spectator). Of course there are third party tools that allow this, maybe like Summize but it requires an extra effort to get to them - an we all know web apps are great for limiting efforts.

I just posted that I installed a new feature that I called “Tweet This” on My Life Sucks … Big Time !!!. It allows a visitor to post a twitter message directly from the website, and tweet the link to the post.

I saw a cool feature on Twitturly that allows visitors to tweet a story quickly and easily from the site itself.
So yesterday evening, I put my amateur dev gloves again and quickly put together a piece of code that allows any visitor on My Life Sucks …. Big Time !!! to tweet a story from an ad-hoc form. Continue reading ‘New feature on MyLifeSucksBigTime.com: Tweet This !’
I’m catching up on Fabrice Grinda’s articles, and have been absorbed by two of them.
The first post is about Fabrice’s first company, Princeton International Computers (PIC), that sold high-end computer parts to Europe, benefiting of the price/time difference. Fabrice tells us he learned business through PIC, and that PIC eventually brought him the funds to start his second company, Aucland.

Ok this should come out as a little ironic … and sad: we, in France, don’t have any Apple store. There are Apple “counters” or departments in FNACand other super-stores (as in BestBuys in the US), but no Apple Store boutique.

Honestly, which other brand can have people stay in line for hours according to a rumor of a potential launch of a product, not even announced ?
