So, when Julien Le Bot asked me, with some old chaps, to attend the launch of the 4M Mashreq Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Iraq) New Media Startup Program he’s leading, I didn’t hesitate much and packed my bag for a short but exciting trip to Beyrouth. This program, led by Canal France International, in collaboration with AltCity and SKEyes, aims “to support online news providers and promote plurality in the media and diversity of editorial content. It is designed to contribute to the production and transmission of independent, top-quality news that reflects a changing society.“ What I discovered there was not only a coworking space and a bunch of tech savvy guys, but also a vibrant community of makers and digital empowerers.

Week#25: 30 articles que vous n’avez peut-être pas lus cette semaine. Bravo aux 2 gagnantes des "ELLE Business Awards" ! - Damien Van Achter. Je n’ai ni MBA en économie ni master en ingénierie fiscale, mais cela fait un petit bout de temps maintenant que j’observe et apprends à comprendre les dynamiques et les mécaniques financières liées au lancement d’un produit, d’un service … essentiellement dans le domaine des nouvelles technologies, boulot oblige.
Mon choix de rejoindre OWNI/22Mars en début de cette année n’était d’ailleurs pas anodin tant la soucoupe m’apparaissait comme l’endroit idéal pour innover et me confronter aux réalités de l’entreprenariat.

If your traffic is not growing and you aren't attracting legions of superstar users, it starts to look expensive to bet against a bigger rival. Even if you do manage to pull off steady growth in usage the test may be scaling up your infrastructure to keep pace with demand.
If the dot com crash is any predictor of future consolidation, look for the survival of systems that address some specific real need of some narrow niche and that don't have to grow to planetary size to be profitable. How Tech Start-ups Are Trying to Overthrow Old Media. On any given day in New York City, there are usually close to a dozen, if not more, “meetups” for people who work for tech start-ups. There are NY Tech Meetups, monthly events that can attract nearly a thousand people to an auditorium at the Fashion Institute of Technology, where developers have five minutes to demonstrate what their technologies do and then get to network with the venture capitalists and entrepreneurs and bloggers and assorted hangers-on in attendance afterward at Black Door, a bar on West 26th Street.
There are breakfasts for Women in New Media and for entrepreneurs in North Brooklyn, poker games at the apartment-slash-office of a start-up in Harlem called SpeakerText, Ping-Pong nights at SPiN New York, and dinners for the residents of a Union Square incubator called Dogpatch Labs.
