Bloggers: an Opportunity to Contribute to the paper.li Community Blog
[fr]Paper.li développe son blog communautaire et cherche des contributeurs![en]Bloggers and freelance writers, this is for you! I’m working with paper.li (you know them, right?) and we’re plotting an expansion/development of their community blog. In short, this means: more interviews of … Continue reading
Blogging Inertia
[fr]Peu d’envie d’écrire (et donc de bloguer). Pas courant pour moi![en]This hasn’t happened to me often before, but I’m going through a phase where I don’t feel like blogging at all. Actually, I don’t even feel like writing, which is … Continue reading
Sam 1
[fr]Exercice d’écriture: personnage Sam.[en]The adventure begins. She doesn’t know Sam yet. She just knows his name. She’s not sure if she’ll like him or not. She’s afraid of making him too likable, too cliché, too unidimensional. She realizes that if … Continue reading
Writing: Source of Income or Marketing Budget?
[fr]Ecrire pour gagner de l’argent (en tous cas en tant qu’indépendant) ça ne rapporte pas des masses. Par contre, écrire est un formidable moyen de promouvoir ce qu’on fait (indirectement). Je propose donc de considérer l’écriture comme “budget marketing” plutôt … Continue reading

Content: Paid vs. Free
[fr]Quelques réflexions sur le fait que produire du contenu n’est pas gratuit. En général, celui-ci est subventionné soit par des pubs, soit l’accès est payant, soit il fait office de “budget marketing”, ou alors les canaux de distribution sont payants.[en]Zeldman … Continue reading
Not Writing, Again
[fr]Clairement, un autre phase de non-écriture. Ça passera.[en]Another post on writing/blogging, yes, another one. I am in a “not writing” phase. I actually want to write. Ideas keep flapping around in my head. But the idea of actually disciplining myself … Continue reading
Wrong Place, Wrong Time

Twitter Killed My Blog and Comments Killed Our Links
[fr]Un titre un peu provocateur pour une réflexion que je pourrais résumer ainsi: l’apparition des commentaires sur les blogs a réduit le nombre de liens que les blogueurs faisaient entre eux (et leurs articles), et a distendu la blogosphère. Celle-ci … Continue reading →
