just what you needed to know if you wanted to get financing for your gadget! james
"US VC Insights
Allen Morgan, one of the General Partners of 'Tier 1' west coast firm Mayfield, has just finished his '10 Commandments' series of posts. Any first-time entrepreneur planning to seek VC financing at some point will find worth reading and reflecting on Allen's interesting insights. I always say in such circumstance that no one should take 'VC Do's and Don'ts' literally because each startup and each fund are particular. However Allen's points are often practical, and sometimes candid, and can be applied to many (first timer's) situations. Here they are:
1. Do your homework, and contact the right person
2. Be on time
3. Tease, don't overwhelm
4. Know your audience
5. Create the 'Aha' early
6. Explain the idea by analogy to, or contrast with, older ideas
7. Go with 13 or less slides
8. Know what you don't know -- and admit it
9. Be like Goldilocks, when it comes to competition
10. Control the meeting -- but be smart about it

Wired News: Vive les Blogs!:
interesting... hope to see you soon! james
"Spurred by a culture of popular expression and debate that can be traced back to France's 17th-century salons, the French are embracing weblogs with a greater zeal than anyone on the European continent.
Take a recent Paris warehouse party, which hooked up 200 local bloggers in person for the first time, an illustration of the European web's best-kept secret -- when it comes to blogs, the French can't get enough.
'The French have a long tradition of speaking loudly,' said Lo�c Le Meur, a Frenchman and Six Apart's European vice president. 'We are the people who made the French Revolution, (the national uprising of) May '68 -- and just look at all our strikes! We always want to debate. Perhaps blogs are the ultimate tool for us to express ourselves.'"

Rocketboom VideoBlog... vblogs... better than CNN?
Rocketboom:
I thought you might enjoy this daily vblog.... it's different than the mainstream media!
hope to see you soon! james
"Rocketboom is a three minute daily video weblog based in New York City covering information and commentary ranging from top news stories to quirky internet culture. Agenda includes releasing each new clip at 9am EST, Monday through Friday. With a heavy emphasis on international arts, technology and weblog drama, Rocketboom is presented via online video and widely distributed through RSS.
RSS (Real Simple Syndication) is an exciting web technology that allows viewers to subscribe and then download newly published content to their computers or portable players automatically once it becomes available. As a result, when a subscriber is ready to view the new video there is no download or buffer delay. [*note: the word 'subscribe' can be misleading because everything is free]
Rocketboom is currently one of the most popular videoblogs on the internet with more daily subscribers for original syndicated multimedia content than nearly any other site, including podcasts.
We differ from a regular TV program in many important ways. Instead of costing millions of dollars to produce, Rocketboom is created with a consumer-level video camera, a laptop, two lights and a map with no additional overhead or costs. Also, Rocketboom is distributed online, all around the world and on demand, and thus has a much larger potential audience than any TV broadcast. However, we spend $0 on distribution because bandwidth costs and space are donated, and $0 on promotion, relying solely on the viral nature of the internet. Finally, while TV programs have traditionally been uni-directional, Rocketboom engages its international audience in a wide range of topical discussions. "

Free music at SXSW-- south by southwest festival
south by southwest festivals : "SXSW Music
March 16-20, 2005
Hope you're all doing well.... SXSW is actually three festivals at the same time.... music/ film / and "interactive" IT... I thought you'd like the music most! james
read more below.....
'Now in its 18th year, the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, is a veritable fantasyland for music fans. There's a nearly 24-hour-a-day onslaught of live music showcases, parties and panels, as well as a whiplash-inducing propensity to run into other journalists, publicists, long-lost friends....'

"SXSW PLAYER: A POPULAR NEW FEATURE
SXSW Music Player The SXSW Music Player V.05 is a new and exciting way to explore the sights and sounds of SXSW 2005. You can listen to a continuous stream of all the acts, and the player will show you who you are listening to and give you a link to their band page. You can also use the quick search field to find a particular band and listen to just their track. We hope you have as much fun as we have been having with it. "
http://2005.sxsw.com/music/#
Every March SXSW Music delivers new opportunities to make your vision real. Musicians and the companies they work with have been using SXSW as a cost-effective way to promote themselves since 1987, and they come back year after year because SXSW works! It's a potent method to connect with press, radio, and other music industry players.
Over 1200 acts showcased last year before more than 8000 registrants from all over the world. Pop, jazz, country, blues, reggae, hip hop, electronica - every imaginable style of music, from nearly every continent - is represented each night at over 50 of Austin's premier stages, many within walking distance of one another. By day, the music industry's most accomplished and creative personalities collaborated, argued, and shared their experiences in dozens of panels, workshops, interviews, and meetings."

To prepare our intensive session (next Tuesday) I invite you to study the milestones of the Bristish History. You can go to the following address :
http://www.britannia.com/history/timelines.html
This very detailed web site presents the sweep of the British History. It could be interesting for us to extract in every section (Medevial Britain, Restoration period...) the most important events. We could then build the "milestones of the Bristish history".
