You think this year will be good, and you sell your car to buy more wii? Is anyone buying that? I’m not a games, but i think a Wii does not cost 5.000€. My guess is that he is running out of money. And that is because of his shady practices and bad tactics, the […]

Bogdan Gavrila, well known stain on Romanian internet, had a problem a few months ago. While he was the dark force behind the World Blogging Forum, none of the respected bloggers from his native country gave him and WBF any love. Some of them questioned the line up, which was inexistent at the time of […]

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. […]

When you disrupt dishonest businesses, you expect to read a lot of dirt about yourself. That includes that your traffic is not what you say it is, that you blackmail people, that you lie for a living. I am used to this, because i hear it every day, from different people. Bogdan Gavrila is such […]

I don’t know if it’s because of him (I have a pretty controversial/bad/ugly image in the .ro internet) or […]

I’ve been blogging since 2005, when the blogs were few and people were eager to read something outsite the crappy journalist/pr press. The door was open so me and a few others just walked in. Now that blogs are mainstream, I see a lot of the new bloggers that step up and want to be […]

I started writing again for blog20.ro (in Romanian about Romanian internet). I hope this phase remains longer than the last one. I flew to Bucharest (12 hours by train, 45 minutes by plane and only 40€ more) and attended NetCamp, a conference organized by Cristi Manafu. Bucharest is a depressing city. Gray and without smiling […]
