"Buyer beware. We've had the worst nightmare with those people. Debi Patterson is totally unprofessional. They promise to call you when they will come, then don't, throw you invoices without telling…" - Yann Ropars

“We’re trying to solve a fundamental problem on the web. There’s too much noise and what we’re looking to do is use data to filter out that noise so you only see the content you care about,” he said. - Yann Ropars from Bookmarklet

The real test for working photojournalists is to reconcile the technical realities of the new media landscape with the aesthetic and ethical requirements of practical journalism. "Never has there been a time when you needed a professional class of journalists more than right now," Naughton said. "There's a real resurgence in formal and aesthetic qualities in contemporary journalism, the idea of aesthetics and photographers as storytellers, not just people who are be able to break the news." - Yann Ropars from Bookmarklet

"We felt there was an audience that would appreciate up-to-the-minute, authoritative and unbiased news and information about what is happening in Berkeley, conveyed in an engaging, lively way." Do it your way. Make the site your own with voice and personality while meeting the needs of your readers. Keep it lean. An independent online news site can be launched on a wing and a prayer. There’s no need to accrue big debts at the outset, or hopefully ever. Be transparent. Do the best you can, but if you a make mistake come clean. There’s nowhere to hide with a community site and you rely wholly on your readers’ trust for your reputation and hence survival. - Yann Ropars from Bookmarklet

"I have lived in both Boulder and Fort Collins and know very well the Golden area. Boulder has one descent trail, Walker Ranch that is (30mn away from town by car). Fort Collins and Golden have hundreds of miles of excellent MTB trails. The Boulder county and city could have done a lot more over the years to expand a larger networks of trail with which conflicts would be minimal. The harsh feelings you're talking about would be solved through density consideration. 10/20mn drive or bike ride west of Boulder to access a larger trail network would certainly satisfy MTBer in the backcountry and many good trails. It's only a density issue which seems to have been solved in Larimer and Jeffco counties. It's also interesting that IMBA (international mountain biking assoc.) is in Boulder doing amazing work all over the country/world but MTBer need to drive go to Nederlands, Golden or Lyons to get trails." - Yann Ropars

Brand needs to be influencer more than try to influence influencers?...I'm going to read your post - Andrea - womarketing

I tend to be radical from time to time. This is a more than radical one: in my opinion there are a lot of tools around promising special effects but really nothing significant from a business point of view. More, this way of acting is nothing more than a translation into the online world of the testimonial advertising model: get a big name, put a product in his/her hand and buy some TV airtime. Someone will follow. Frankly speaking, inaccuracy of results is sometimes embarassing. - gianandrea

"‘The US landscape will shift dramatically this coming year, as a result of the Verizon-Apple agreement,’ said Canalys Analyst Tim Shepherd. ‘Verizon will move its focus away from the Droid range, but the overall market impact will mean less carrier-exclusive deals, while increasing the AT&T opportunity for Android vendors, such as HTC, Motorola and Samsung.’ Android was by far the largest smart phone platform in the US market in Q4 2010, with shipments of 12.1 million units – nearly three times those of RIM’s BlackBerry devices. Windows Phone 7 devices appeared too late in the quarter to take full advantage of holiday season purchasing. As a result, Microsoft lost share in the United States, from 8% in Q4 2009 to 5% in Q4 2010." - Yann Ropars from Bookmarklet

We use it mostly for the video but there is too much delay with the voice. We still use a conference call line for the voice and put Skype on mute. TokBox.com was a good alternative but it's been buggy and the camera isn't recognized anymore. (apparently since the skype upgrade taking priority on the camera) - Yann Ropars from Bookmarklet

yes and sometimes you have to shut it off to actually mono task...and be efficient :) - Yann Ropars
