1000 Times 1000

I tried to meet all of them for some years already, but for one reason or the other they are never where I am, not even in my favorite coffee bar!
But, my luck might be changing!! I got an invitation for the DLD conference (Digital Life Design) in Munich this weekend. And guess who will be there as well…..?

Good guess!

Unfortunately I’ll miss the performance of Nicolas Negroponte because the cheapest airline I could find only goes once a day at 16:20 hrs.

I have some ideas for some cool podcasts live from the conference, so it is time to get myself an audio recording device. The problem is that my birthday is just after the conference (the 24th) and I can’t afford one at the moment…
So the question is… Who is willing to lend me (or even better buy me) an audio recording device this weekend?
How about this… if you can lend/buy me the device I’ll make each one of them say your (company) name :)

I’m pretty exited to go and I’m looking forward to meet up with Tariq.

Fleck received 3 nominations for the Dutch Web2.0 Awards. In the categories:

Blueace is organizing the web2.0awards and Fleck is nominated in several categories:

-Best Newcomer

As of January everybody will be able to vote. So stay tuned.

The Long Tail is a widely spread phenomenon coined by Chris Anderson. Today is was checking some stats on fleck and noticed a long tail in visitors per country. These stats show where the latest 1000 Fleck visitors come from (unfortunately only the first 10 countries are shown :( ). It is a perfectly long tail. It seems we have to get multiple language support. Working on it:)

Next Friday (December the 1st) it is time for Bright Live. It’s a digital lifestyle event where a mixture of design and cutting edge technology is presented. I hope it will be the Dutch answer to NextFest!
Boris and I will be present to show Fleck.

We also host our first FUBB party! (check also upcoming)

It will be fun and your invited.

Tickets for Bright live are 15 euro and available on their website

A lot of blogs are installing the Fleck widget on their blogs that enables other readers to send articles to friends within the blink of an eye. But the widget of Music in control (its Dutch) is really cool! and in between Digg and del.ico.us, where it belongs :).

But the owner of the site mentions an important thing: “With Fleck you can easily email your friends AND you promote music in control as well”.
So we thought that the widget would have a sort of viral effect for us, but in fact it is a nifty way for that blog to promote his own site on a very innovative way!”

This is a win win win situation:
1. the reader can easily (without any friction) share good stuff with friends, even with their remarks in the page.
2. the blog gets promoted.
3. Fleck does its thing.

Cool!

Present from JWE

Just before the photo shoot, we released a new toolbar which fixes a lot of CSS bugs, is more stable and is just working :) All functionalities are the same. Try it!

We’re still at the office fighting our jet lag…..

It’s really hectic at the improvised Fleck office at 32nd street and Broadway. After the party I’ve been mailing almost all night long, to finally waking up with my head on my keyboard and an open email to my girlfriend looking something like this:

Hi amorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeihujjjjjkkkkkk kkkkkkhdfcccokoooooooooooooooodjjnnnnnnnnnffn

My powerbook was soaking wet (When I’m really tired I drool, sorry). Then at 6:15 one of our investors called, so I was awake instantly :).

A lot of stories are written about Fleck. Check out the Techcrunch review with the great headline: Fleck offres zero friction web annotation :)

It’s a great, but very long day. It’s time for my daily burger!
