Loic - Dec 1, 2008 merci pour les pics!

Whilst everyone that was present at the Paris Seesmeetup has gone home to their day to day lives the images taken are still doing the rounds. I noticed that two of my images were included in Loic Le meur’s blog. Normally all the Francofous should be able to name every shown. Can you? Looking forward to many more seesmeetups to come.

Tomorrow I will be in Lausanne once more, this time to meet the people from Bloggy Friday. It’s Switzerland’s bloggers and social media types coming together for a chat and the traditional fondue (or so it’s been for the past few weeks) and an opportunity to hear about new projects. Last month it resulted in me hearing about minsh and going to a demonstration of what the website will provide for users of twitter.

Being in Paris to meet Seesmic friends once more today. we went to Dune, cafe/bar where we spent many hours eating various types of meat, drinking wine and seesmicing from laptops and mobile phones. Many photographs were taking. We could see each other without the intermediary of the webcam. It was good. :-) I’ve met a few new people and made more friends. Vinvin was there, Fred2baro, xtelle, Beatrice, The event started when i met fred2baro at paris Gare de Lyon.

This weekend I’ll be in Paris for another seesmeetup, an opportunity for French speakers to meet in person after getting to know each other online. They’re good fun. Seesmeet’up a PARIS le samedi 6? See some of you there

A few days ago I was in Paris to meet the Francofous and in the process I passed by La Cantine where they were holding a Videocamp. It’s like a barcamp but rather than talking about radio and podcastng people talked about peer to peer video sharing, citizen journalism and other topics. I filmed a few people presenting what their seminars had been about and finally they’re available via my website.

I’m back from Paris and what you can expect from me this week are a post with two or three short video clips of people exposing what they discussed at Podcamp uk as well as two or three amusing videos from the Paris Seesmic meetup.

There is more video to come but I need to wait for seesmic to recognise and promote the files before I link to them.

Next Saturday I’ll be catching the TGV to Paris to meet with a few friends from the Seesmic community. I had planned to do this for over two months but never got the opportunity due to various events. It’s fun to go to meet people who you know via online social networks because of the friendships and the inspiration they may provide. In London whilst looking for work i took great advantage of all these events, trying to go to as many as possible.

Mcwflint - Feb 6, 2008 And from Twitter, you discover their blogs or the blogs they are reading, the videos they watch, the things they are thinking about which only leads to more people and more Twitters. I like how Twitter has shrunk the world for me so that my neighborhood isn’t just a geographical region of Flint Michigan in the United States. It includes people from Chicago and San Francisco, from London and Paris and .
