Blog Day recommendations.

From my French window, it's a blog with funny and fresh photos. I like the 'about this patch', specially the chapter on view of life. It's an example of open minded people because of mixed culture. Blog in English.
Tea stains, it's a blog from an English expat in Bangkok, writing about thoughts and experiences. I simply like the way things are exposed with simple photos. Have a look and you will come back regularly. Blog in English.
Tendance High-Tech, it's a blog about design BUT not the usual 'high-tech hyper commercial' usually see on the Net. Sometime it come with some music to listen, nice too. Worth to visit. Blog in French and English version.
Sandrine Plasseraud, yes it's the name of this blog. She's French expat in London. Her passion is marketing. She exposed her view on many different subjects. It's an example of a blog of expat community, interesting. Blog in English.
Vincent Thome's blog, another blog from a French expat in London. I discover original clips about adds from Youtube. Interesting posts about what he think about e-commerce . Blog in English.

BlogDay2007

LiveJournal in the storm.

Under the title 'LiveJournal says users are responsible for content of links' in Slashdot posted by samzenpus, they reported the problems that LiveJournal have with users who link with 'porn or paedophile contents'.
My view on this problem is very simple, EVERYTHING on the Net is tracked from A to Z, so it's possible to stop at the source the dirty sites. But for some reasons nothing or little is done about it. Probably for insane reasons from 'services' who have the power to act.
Now all the users of the Net (we) have to do something and stop turning around the pot! I do not have any power or prestigious friends but I'm ready to take part of any action! If serious people using the net decide to do it. And you?

iPhone unlocking website

A website have been set-up for the purpose of unlocking the iPhone, 'iPhoneSimFree'. Thanks to Timesonline tech & web news. You don't need to open the phone, for more infos about it go to the FAQ page and you will know all!

Rafael Nadal blog

For the tennis and specially Rafael Nadal lovers you can connect to his blog, see the latest news and asking him whatever you want to know. The Times online advert on it's first page for it...

NoSo.

If you are seek of social platform like MySpace, now you have the NoSocial platform NoSo. Yeaah I'm not joking, they call it a 'real-world platform for temporary disengagement from social networking environments'. Read their About page. They decide to meet somewhere, to disconnect everything, do not speak to anybody, to hide their ID... Anyway you have to register. Maybe it's the beginning of a new global movement.

Censor police on the net

The journal 'Le Monde' published today an article in connection with the 10th birthday of the blogosphere by saying that in China they have around 40 000 internet cops for 162 millions bloggers... How many are they in occident? (the censors).

Blogosphere

In the Guardian online today, Scott Rosenberg wrote an article on the 'planet blog'. Yes it's around a decade ago that the blogging world emerged from a garden shed, and it's very hard to say who did it, probably not one person alone, better to say few people at the same time start it. But at 10 years old the blogosphere is growing, and as usual when something new arrive you always have sceptical (skeptical in US) people. Not a problem!
But first it will be good if we stop to confront mainstream media and blogs, we can see good and bad quality in both!
Second, because I live in the UK I would like to see the English blogosphere more active, in many other part of the world like in the US or in France it's big and with a lot of creativity.
Third, we need to be vigilant, to avoid some powerful people, corporations, or politician from removing this tool of self-expression, because they cannot control it.
I would like to see more good quality article like the Scott Rosenberg one!
