Forget about any free storage solution offering you 1/2/3 giga for free. Mediamax is offering you 25Giga of storage with 500M of download /share per month.
You can storage/ share / stream / view Photos, audio, sounds, files. Smart storage feature: just upload your file and it will be placed automatically in the right type file
I tried it: it is quite good although i deplore the user interface could be more sexy and upload faster.
This is the largest free storage solution on the market. When i think that Gmail, Yahoo, Boltfolio, Flickr (even typepad…)and others limit you to 1/2 Giga…Come one guys you can do better than that….
I believe in desktop dematerialization and anticipate hardware storage will be soon hard-anywhere (already wrote about it): your files in one centrale place accessible from everywhere from any device, safely guarded and backed-up.
I also believe the price of the hosted giga will dramatically decrease in the next couple of years as usage (couple with very high speed internet) will increase.
PS: if you are willing to pay it goes up to 1 tera…
Yesterday, my friend Guy (Sax) and I had a not-so-easy-to-start jam session. It took us time to get the swing with us but i think our best performance was a version of YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT LOVE IS that we already recorded in the past.
To listen press play below or download mp3 file here. (right click and "save target as")
I think this version is better than the first one we played as. But we still have some work to do: don't we Guy?
In the meantime if you want to enjoy 2 great versions of this magnificent tune
Can a blog exist without RSS? This question raised to my mind when i came accross a few months ago Skyblog, the most successful “blog” plateform in France (about 3 million blogs). Skyblog belongs the one of the biggest French Radio: SkyRock.
It has everything a basic blog should have except RSS feeds. A few days ago Allocine, The French imdb release also their blog plateform, apparently on the same mode (not exactly, you can find the RSS feed manually but it is not auto detected and if you add the URL to an RSS agregator it will not be found: try with this blog).
I don’t really understand that. The whole interest of blog is RSS, so you can retrieve in a central place (your RSS reader) all the blogs that you are interested in. Like that for example you can filter posts that interest you.
The only reason i could think of is that Skyblog/Skyrock (and likely also allocine) are willing to keep people reading blogs WITHIN their web browser so people can see the ads they are selling. I would not expect less from corporation whose business model is nearly 100% based on advertising.
RSS advertising is still birthing and is probably not as big as current banner formats. But maybe they should lead the way as market leaders and start including smart/non intrusive ads in RSS and let AT LAST users have the pleasure of reading blogs through RSS.
What a terrible thing for the user experience in the meantime. Eventually user experience will win, i am sure. It’s just a question of time. What do you think ?
I was so happy to read about Techcrunch in the magazinL’expansion just a few days after i “profiled” Michael Arrington, the author.
Btw Techrunch network is expanding: existing MobileCrunch and CrunchNotes will soon be joined by a version in French. Probably one of the future french reference in web2.0 information source. So far many many techblogs in french but no equivalent of Techcrunch…Can’t wait

LibriVox volunteers record chapters of books in the public domain, and then we release the audio files back onto the net (podcast and catalog). Our objective is to make all books in the public domain available, for free, in audio format on the internet. We are a totally volunteer, open source, free content, public domain project.

Today a recording dedicated to the tune composed by Charles Chaplin: SMILE.
To listen press play below or download mp3 file here. (right click and "save target as")
Smile, is a lovely tune first released in Charles Chaplin masterpiece: Modern Times. It appears exactly at the end of the movie when Charlie Chaplin shows his fiancee Paulette Godard.
Since then smile became a huge hit and you probably heard it at least once in your life. Jazz musicians have over used it over time. There is a very nice rumba version of it by Chick Corea piano solo. Of course the eternal version of Nat King Cole. I have a personal favourite: the version by brazilian singer Djavan translated Sorri. Here is the CD (amazon made a mistake by writting sorry..)here the lyrics and the chords. you can also listen to the original in my radioblog.

Bloggers Warning. A very smart way of spam has just raised up in blogs.
I just came accross that comment on my blog. And i thought to myself “something smells here!”. One one side a nice comment, on the other no real relation to my post on Meebo and sequoia investment….
First i looked at this www.worldbusinessforsale.com website. Strange…. Then i ran a search on Talkdigger about them to see if they appear somewhere else in the blogosphere and look what i found. Exactly the same comment on other posts in many other blogs
Those guys spot good blogs. Leave (automatically?) same comments and there you go. You want me to “be added to this great blog”? I just did. I added you to my blacklist (thanks typepad for the tool). For info IP is : 84.64.182.156
Someone is trying to get easy SEO indexing and free advertising in a smart not so visible way. But mister worldbusinessforsale.com and brothers…don’t underestimate bloggers vigilence.
Get to know Mario Klingemann. This guy is creating really cool creative and nicely designed Flickr (online photo sharing) peripherical applications by using the huge picture database and the service APIs.
A clock where each number of the hour is taken out from the picture database dynamically. Even seconds change in real time. If you don’t like a specific number click on it and it will be refreshed. In French we call that “ un coup de maitre”
A new way to browse the thousands of flickr tags nicely. Just write a word in the middle, Enter and a sphere of related tags will appear, click on one of them to make it central. To see the pictures you want click on the central tag and it will open
Flickr like skype is slowly but surely getting lots of plug-in/ services and applications derived from their API built around. Those have no special business model but are simply nice and creative. I just would like to recall here the amazing RetrievR to search pictures by sketching them.
This also makes the success of a service. Web2.0 companies should think about it.
