Last night i encountered something naturally obvious for most of you... Semantic Web.
What ?! It's not obvious to you ?!!! Well it wasn't to me either, up to last night...

_ The entry door was microformats
_ duh ?
_ Yes, it's away to tell your web browser that there is more in a given page that just what you see.
_ oooh
_ Imagine you can add to your address book by right-clicking on a name, all the data attached to that person :
  • First name, family name
  • Address, phone number and e-mail
  • Company name and more
_ I get it ! you can attach invisible data to a visible part of a web page .
_ Yes, when using an add on (for the moment) or the built in feature of your web browser, you can create valuable data that can be added to any kind of address book (Microsoft Outlook, Apple iCal or Mozilla Thunderbird for instance)
here is an example :

Joost about time (2)

Well That's it, Joost has gone public ! From what i've seen so far it's the warm up stage, we'll see more stuff as people connect and join Joost. UPDATE : After testing Joost for a couple of days, i must say that the technical side is great but the content is poor and a bit on the trash side (Guinness records tv, Strongest Man competition, MTV, etc.). I hope the programs will get better, or maybe i have to high expectations. Why not put more TLC and Discovery stuff , (yeah i know, it's a matter of copyright and all). But if the target was geeks, why not give us geek shows, like MythBusters or American Choppers. The user interface is good and the widgets are cool. Chatting with other viewers is so new, Joost is a good idea, and will pick up with a better choice of programs. I still have some invitations to give away.

Well no; true we got to pay for taxes all the time, but then why care ? A company is a way to shape your dreams and make them come to reality, with an accountant in the picture. So far, i've learned a lot about financial mechanism, social status for the boss, how to avoid some taxes. Next we will enter the money rounds, how to found a company and find shareholders (with money). Among the budding projects here is a listing : C. is starting up a second hand branded clothes store. M. & A. are brother and sister, they have the goal to set up a vehicule recycling plant with shipping to Africa. P. is eager to have your dog behave, she is a dog comportementalist. A. will feed the world with her restaurant. A. has a plan for you to escape from your kids. A. will start an arts print shop on the web. M. is on the line to open up a mobile pho...
