Internet 2.0 – Blogs and Social Software Event in Paris, 25 April 2005

I’ll be there. Maybe even give a talk on something interesting.

What is this event ?

Within the last few months, the Internet as we know it has started to change very fast, taken by storm by blogs and social software.

I decided to organise in my city, Paris, an event to help us better define what’s coming next, the first of this kind in Paris, all in english and with a dream panel of the key movers and shakers in the world.

It is a one day and (probably) one evening event on Monday, April 25th, so you could also plan for a cool week-end in our beautiful city of Paris the day before.

Where ?

We’re so proud to announce that the French Senate receives us for this one day event. Yeayyy.

Address:
SENAT
15, rue de Vaugirard
75291 PARIS Cedex 06

It is NOT a conference organised by events professionals, mostly self-organizing event I start with a bunch of friends so PLEASE be nice about all the changes that are going to happen, and we also need your help !

Great store sign in Munich



When I was on my way to get my new Crumpler bag at the store on Adalbertstrasse in Munich, I passed by this beauty salon. Very funny.

For those who don’t know – Schick is my last name.

But, no one’s ever called me Micky.

Charlie. London. March 24.

Loïc and Alistair from Six Apart are organizing an event in London tomorrow (with Nokia Lifeblog sponsoring part of it).

I’ll be there pontificating on how the fusion of mobile, PC, and web is transforming the way people share and communicate through personal content (and as usual, I’ll pipe up on the related aspects of life recording, personal and corporate story-telling, marketing, and authenticity).

This article reminded me of The Final Cut, that I wrote about a while back. The article mentions Lifeblog at the end of the article.

The Observer

Family historians were once lucky to find their ancestors in sepia photographs or the odd battered reel of cine-film. Today the famine has become a feast, with the latest addition to the growing hunger to ‘chronicle your past’ – a DVD, concisely edited, broadcast-quality ‘biopic’ of your family.

The article is by David Smith, the Observer technology correspondent. I think David will be at the London blogging event I am attending tomorrow.

Thanks, Mark, for the link!

Post to Flickr From Lifeblog

Yahoo Mobile-Meister Russell Beattie himself revealed some stuff that Ludicorp (now a part of Yahoo) was doing to get Flickr working with Lifeblog.

Hugo and Timo, here on the Lifeblog team, also pointed out to me that you can now set up Flickr to automatically post your Lifeblog posted photos to any blog Flickr normally can automatically post to.

That’s cool.

One thing to keep in mind, they are still working out the kinks (I totally subscribe to the ‘just get it out there’ mentality) and Flickr will only accept images and some text (don’t know which, since I have yet to try it myself). Flickr does not at the time accept any videos or MMSs (don’t know about the other object types). Timo and Hugo have been playing with it, posting from the PC and mobile.

Give it a try!
