Blogging can make you rich asks Loïc Le Meur




Head on Daily Blog Tips and you won't need my answer on my blog.

Maybe the main word is "RELEVENT". You should be relevent when you write on your blog and when you share informations. Comments are really really important in order to make your blog live. It should be an interactive platform. Besides you should do "links exchange" with your blog friends. Your blogroll is a way of meeting people and opening your blog to a community.

Then you could use some features such as Google Analytics, Digg-like as Scoopeo in France, nice templates and co.

Wordpress is probably the best php script in comparison with the other ones : typed pad, dot clear etc.

Plus, don't forget to use RSS feeds, it's the future.

Crowdsourcing for dummies

Youtube is so cool. You would like to learn about Crowdsourcing after having learned about outsourcing, and it's possible. I let you enjoy that powerpoint.











In France and in Europe the most famous model of Crowdsourcing is La Fraise. It's Europe's largest t-shirt design competition. From nearly 1000 weekly designs submitted, two to four designs are selected -- by a popular vote and a juried panel -- to be printed in limited editions of 500 shirts. The winning designer gets 1000€. Recently that french company has been taken over by Spreadshirt.

The main things in crowdsourcing is that it's based on the knows of the users. The last book of Andrew Keen deals with this idea of amateurism, you should read The Cult of the Amateur : how today internet is killing our culture. The NY Times review.

Pomku, an exemple of true generosity

Actually, I am trying to launch with one of my best friend a web 2.0 service pretty new and revolutionary. That website, called Pomku, will be the pure internet exemple of generosity. You should try when It will be launched.Introduction of Pomku :

Pomku is a 2.0 Web community service conceived by a group of dashing young boys. Pomku arose from a simple remark : the Internet is a media profoundly egocentric today ; I have "my blog ", " my myspace ", " my friends ". Finally everything turns around the individual on the Internet, ans if you speak too much about yourself what you write does not have interest more than for yourself. Pomku can't bear this tendency of the egocentric media. Thanks to Pomku I speak about other people, I speak about people whom I met. Pomku tends to be a perfect area to speak about somebody : I can express my thoughts on persons according to four feelings : enthusiasm, love, sadness and anger, all this in a simple and ergonomic environment. Pomku aspires to position as the alternative in the central question of the Twitter system " What are you doing now? " Replaced by: " Let's talk about someone with creativity ! ". The Pomku service will be launched in alpha test in the course of August.

The first version of Pomku seems to be very simple to use, the second version will begin to be developed after the launch of that alpha version. Pomku, thanks to its second version, will become attached in puts Pomku thanks to its second version will attempt to implement a human chain where each one can talk about the other who will talk about another person
etc. Every person who will be evoked can create its account and connect it to articles previously written on him.

Pomku is at the same moment a media which allows to speak with creativity of the other one and to let it know, and at the same moment « the universal collaborative who is who » Thanks to Pomku I can know an individual without ever having met him, but thanks to articles which were written about him.

Thanks to Pomku we leave the former system.

Some famous web 2.0 blog such as Techcrunch France and Mashable talked about us.
