Dutch Experiments of the Cultural Kind
:: FaceCulture ::
Faceculture.nl has a slightly exaggerated view of its novelty - it is hardly the first multimedia magazine on the web. It is perhaps the swiftest to exploit the growing need for video content. Having the benefit of an Amsterdam base they’re able to pick up interviews with minor celebs and niche songsters, as […]
Skype, Venice, Television
The story that Skype’s founders are setting up a TV service on the web has been circulating for a while but last week I got talking to a company who’ve been approached to provide content, they say under strict conditions of confidentiality.
The new Venice project when launched will be a safe harbour for quality content […]
Flurl and My Space
When I read yesterday that a MySpace founder, Brad Greenspan, had bought into Flurl, the video search engine, I thought I’d, you know…. check it out.
Flurl is actually quite depressing, a mon avis, and steeped in Internet savvy. Based in Liege in Belgium the lads have devised a way to piggyback video uploading sites. It […]

European Web 2.0 Blogging Italia
I was visitatore anonimo at bloggers.it, anonymous visitor. Sometimes it hurts to walk through life so anonymously. let me say once again that European blogging sites that run parallel English versions are a great boon to us all, to culture, to friendship between nations….

Bloggers.it is actually more of a digg but […]

It’s a Luxembourg-based p2p music site but all its posts are in our language. It’s been going for over a year and there are now nearly 1800 albums on site to share, 42,00 members and around 25,000 album […]
Start Pages and Groups Fitting Meet
An interesting conversation began yesterday over on Franck Poission’s site. It hasn’t gone far yet but here’s the principle behind it.
Startpages are a natural way for people to surf the web but also for content hodlers to serve an audience. So ESPN’s move into start pages is good.
Along comes entrepreneur Emre Sokullu, who is building […]

Wikio is a Nice Site, A Very Nice Site
I have a feeling I will get to this one before Laurence Timms does and if so I have to thank him for pointing it out.
Wikio is in French and displays the virtues of French design - good use of colour as a visual aid, plenty of functionality and an all round good set of […]
If 90% of Your Customers Are Offline….Lessons from db twang.
Google and Yellow Pages had a little head to head recently , in front of an audience of a thousand people. What they had to say to each other was fascinating.
Aren’t you guys competitors, the discussion moderator asked? After all you’re both chasing the local search market.
Not at all said the guy from Yell - […]
