Web 2.0
Highrise
Pour moi, une des vraies nouveautés “business” du web 2.0, c’est la “démocratisation” des applications payantes en lignes a la demande, une sorte de “Software As A Service for the rest of us!”. Internet fourmille même des ces services qui ne sont plus des “sites webs” au sens media, mais de véritables applications qui vous [...]
Pricing
Web entrepreneur who don’t want to fall in the free and “ad-based” business model are all facing the same problem : pricing! What should I charge my users and for what!First, there is almost no chance that you’ll service if you don’t provide at least a free base : here comes the famous freemium business [...]
Invite or not invite?
One of the key concepts of Web2.0 is “permanent beta” : it means that your service/product is not finished yet… and it might never be done. As surprising as it sounds, one of the key advantages of online application and software is that you can deploy a new version of it seemlessly : most of [...]
Business Model : Revenues and costs
It’s a common statement to say that web 2.0 business models are unproven. I partially agree : many services are built to be sold before even being profitable. However, I am always “surprised” when people talk only about revenues : a business model is about revenues AND costs.
Virality: independence from Google
With a market share of 60% in the US, and reaching 90% in my home country (France), and while many websites receive more than 50% of their visits from Search Engines, the independence from Google is a true concern : Jobetudiant.net is clearly very dependent from Google and might always be… Most of our new [...]

Writing about Jack Dorsey and Twitter
First, I must say that I am using twitter on a daily -if not hourly- basis : I’ve even integrated it to l’Ouvre-Boite, as you can see just below the header. It’s a new approach to online communication between people : one-to-many, asynchronous and efficient (short) and a very well built tool with API’s and [...]
Teen Blog platforms: mature?
It’s only Tuesday and yet, 2 very big blogging platform have been put for sale : LiveJournal which has actually already been sold to SUP and Skyblog, the biggest European blogging platform/network. Correct me if I am wrong but these platforms are a lot comparable and I am sure that we could get some lessons [...]
RSS : is it over?
One of my favorite french bloggers, Eric -from La Croix Rousse, not from Lyon ;p- thinks that Feeds will never get any attention from the public : I totally agree and I think that it is actually a good thing. RSS (and/or atom) is a technology… nothing like a product, and “the rest of us” [...]
Netvibes, Freddy Mini
Je ne peux malheureusement pas participer a toutes les visites du voyage organise, mais j’ai quand même pu participer a la visite des bureaux de Netvibes.com, ici, a San Francisco et surtout, j’ai pu assister a l’expose fait pas Freddy Mini, le COO US. J’avoue être dans une phase de déception a propos de Netvibes: [...]
