Lots of talks about why chrome: I see one and only. They’ve build chrome to have a browser that can handle browsing the grid… that’s all.

Found thanks to Max Niederhofer’s blog. Amazing Commencement address from JK Rowling’s to Harvard Class of 2008. I love Commencement address because they are great views on life.
This one is great because it’s about failure redoing again and the power of imagination that enables to edit real world !!
PS: Max was at seedcamp Paris (didn’t manage to find the time to talk to him, despite my wish because I’ve been reading his blog for quite a long time). Seedcamp was about imagination and failure too (We tried as mentors to prevent some but we know that we will fail too ;-D and that those failing entrepreneurs will learn a lot too.) Good speech… let’s start again with a shadoks’ motto :
In trying continuously one eventually succeed. Thus, the more it fails the more likely one has that it works.
En essayant continuellement on finit par réussir. Donc: plus ça rate plus on a de chances que ça marche.

So here we are, back to blogging.
I took a blogging break and used the time to edit stuff around. One of them was/is to edit the real world, and for that I’ve used couchsurfing.
I’ve registered on couchsurfing the 8 august of last year, just after coming back from barcelona where I really enjoyed the “The Spanish Apartment” spirit maybe because it was an even better breath of fresh air after 5 months at the office.
First, Ive spent some time in the community, discovering the behaviours, the groups (opted for Lomo & photography and for practical purpose paris). Discovering the signs for trust and the way contribution was possible.
Then as soon as my new flat was available, I started hosting… and actually meeting people. From abroad and from paris, even people close to me (hi, Emmanuel). On average the ratio of very nice encounters is a lot better than with my local life and the least interesting experience was nevertheless a fairly nice evening (speaking about california).
We are now 500 000 members. France is the second country with 44,159 members but first in share of national population. Here are the stats of the day.
- CouchSurfers 517,516
- Successful Surfings (approx) 406,659
- Friendships Created (approx) 514,633
- Positive Experiences (approx) 808,689
TV helped a lot and like always it has an impact on behaviours. That’s part of the growth process. Digg dealed with it, some other start-up are currently crossing the chasme…. Paul Lamere describes it as the biggest challenge of last.fm.
I am now also a surfer … and i am confident for couchsurfing. but we’ll see.
Here are my first real edits. Pictures taken in cities where I’ve couchsurfed, video mixing done by animoto.

For the new year i wanted to do my annual report, but i was to busy at the time.
So I’ll do it now (because i love the movie below - Source) … i was very very impressed with the global stats, I could do a full life version but working my weblife out was already enough work.
