Planet MySpace

“…turning MySpace into a global power could be far more complicated than marketing a movie overseas. While the company has 100 million registered users, most are in the United States. People outside the United States already have different habits about socializing online.”

Online globalisation – MySpace wanna be everyone’s online space, from Japan to Germany to US – can this be? Is there still a real mass market only divided by language, or millions of small niches?

Let them be the first ones, then we can learn.

CKOI le Web 2.0?

C’est épeurant de voir des sites comme ckoitonblogue.com avoir autant de support médiatique quand la plateforme est médiocre, offrant aux internautes de la junk qui est loin de l’esprit participatif du web 2.0.

Parlez moi de wannabe Web 2.0, de gens qui créent des outils dit collaboratifs et une plateforme d’une pauvreté aberrante pour les québécois. Ca fait peur. Et Québecor qui s’en vient à grand pas. J’ai le goût d’hiberner.

Six Apart aquires LiveJournal

As expected, the big news was everywhere this morning:

‘Brad’s initial question — an expected one — was ‘why does Six Apart want to acquire Danga (LiveJournal)?’ The answer was simple: ‘Many of our weaknesses are LiveJournal’s strengths and many of LiveJournal’s weaknesses are our strengths.’

Mena G. Trott and Ben Trott people of the Year

And this started as a hobby…

According to Technorati, a new weblog is created every 5.8 seconds, or about 15,000 new blogs a day. There are blogs out there for everyone, and the audience is growing: A February 2004 study by the Pew Internet & American Life Project says about 11 percent, or about 50 million, of Internet users are regular blog readers.
–> 11%?? in my world, everyone is reading at least 1 blog… It is still not as mainstream as i thought?!?

(…)
Husband and wife Ben and Mena G. Trott founded Six Apart Ltd. in 2002. Based in San Mateo, California, Six Apart makes Movable Type, a weblog publishing application that installs on your Web server, and TypePad, a hosted weblogging service. With the huge popularity and growing importance of the blog this year, it is fitting that we award the founders of Blogger and Six Apart our People of the Year 2004
