The pay wall experiment

26 May 2010

Loren Feldman, a master of video blogging and social media, has recently put a pay wall on his site. I have bought a subscription, because the man is really pragmatic and knows what he is talking about. The idea behind it is great: produce content people want to pay for. You don’t have to be […]

the adobe-apple war, the short version

12 April 2010

Let’s perform a thought experiment. By the end of 2010, there will be more than 100 million iPhone OS devices (iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad). You’re the webmeister at an important content site. The boss comes in and asks you why you’re not supporting the iPhone OS devices. ‘Our stuff is all Flash-based, chief, those guys […]

real-time web

3 March 2010

The problem is not how fast is the search, but rather how relevant is. But Google started it and everybody follows. Uuu, let’s index twitter. Why? Who cares about twitter? That is right, nobody. Is twitter relevant? No, not really. So, Google chooses one more time the easy road. Rather than fixing his search results […]

About online business in Romania

17 December 2009

In Romania, we are used to people shouting as hard as they can about their success. They do this, they do that, they just opened a new interactive agency, they’ve just rolled a new amazing campaign… Most of it is PR bullshit. And the people who do stuff do not brag about it too much. […]

Dear Mr. Loic (about WorldBloggingForum 2009)

11 November 2009

If LeWeb was sponsored by the French Parliament, organised by a student groupt nobody ever heard of and announced five weeks before it happened would any respectable French blogger attend? What if, 2 weeks before the presidential elections, Mr. Sarkozy would give a political speech? Would they come? What if behind the event was a […]

IFA, here i come!

27 August 2009

I will be attending IFA in Berlin again. On the 4th I will be at the Bloggers Forum in salon4/5, wearing a brown “no one cares about your blog” t-shirt. I hope it will be better than last year, because that one sucked. And I hope more time to play with gadgets.

CAPSLOCK.ro has good reviews

4 April 2009

Blog20.ro was a project i started in October 2007. Wasn’t too successful, because I was focusing on zoso.ro more. In February Bobby Voicu, freshly departed from Yahoo, took over the reins and change it to CAPSLOCK.ro. I don’t know if it’s because of him (I have a pretty controversial/bad/ugly image in the .ro internet) or […]

Back with the noise

29 November 2008

So I was looking for “tiger attacks” on YouTube. I watched 20 videos and I did not see any tiger attack. I saw a lot of noise, a lot of pixelated video, a lot of talk and a lot of misnamed videos. But I did 20 page views and 20 video views. So I contributed […]

Too much noise

23 November 2008

I have an account on LinkedIn. I find it useful into tracking my old colleagues and friends. Two days ago I got one on facebook, because it said I cannot access a user profile if I didn’t have an account. I signed up and…I still couldn’t see the profile, because I need to be friends […]
