Very soon i’ll be referenced by Technorati.

Oh it’s not really a big deal, its just part of the process, you know, to be known on the web.

Technorati is a popular Internet search engine mainly focused on blogs.

Technorati looks at tags that authors have placed on their websites. These tags help categorize search results, with recent results coming first. Technorati rates each blog’s « authority », the number of unique blogs linking to the blog over the previous six months.

So far i think just two blogs are linking to my blog, but this is not really a surprise.

To register your blog in Technorati, you first have to create a user account there. Once confirmed, you have to claim for your blog in your profile, which basically consists in saying « that url is my blog ». After some time, Technorati team will contact you back and ask you to publish a new blog post including a special token (you can include it as an hidden text input within a form: Technorati will go through your source code and find that token anyway). You can then go back to your profile and verify your claim, which will tell Technorati that your blog is ready for verification : Technorati then finds the token in your code and tells you that your claim is awaiting review.

And then… i still have to figure out what will happen

Hello there!

My new blog just arrived. Im sure you couldn’t wait any longer, right?

Well i won’t enter in a big introductory speech – the truth is, i did write a long post to explain u guys why i decided to start a new blog, tell you more about the content, the choice of the language… but it was definitely too long.

So, in a few words, i decided to restart a blog, following those last months when little by little i got more active on the web, more connected to others and following more news… This blog is a way to be more active and more involved: i used to be a consumer and now i feel like producing something… and be part of the web.

Here im gonna talk about everything… but i guess there will be a lot about IT (thats my job), Madrid (thats where i live), and travels (3 short trips planned in the next month) and we’ll see… what i find worth sharing, i’ll share it. And you’ll tell me what you think about it.

Oh, and i’ll talk in english. I won’t enter in the details; its the most logical choice… There will be francais in the text, after all its my mother tongue… and probably i’ll have a few posts entirely written in french.

So… anyway… Enjoy and please retweet

Nicolas.

Bonjour!

Mon nouveau blog est enfin arrivé! Depuis le temps que vous l’attendiez, non?

Je ne vais pas faire de grand discours d’introduction – en fait la vérité c’est que j’avais préparé un long post pour vous expliquer pourquoi ce nouveau blog, le contenu, tout çà… mais c’était vraiment trop long.

Juste vous dire que j’ai décidé de reprendre un blog un peu dans la continuité de ces derniers mois où, à mon rythme, je suis devenu un peu plus actif sur le web, un peu plus connecté aux autres, à suivre un peu plus l’actualité. Ce blog rentre donc dans une logique de participation au web : j’ai envie d’être un peu moins consommateur et un peu plus producteur, et d’apporter moi aussi ma pierre à l’édifice.

Ici, je vais parler de tout. Beaucoup d’informatique (c’est mon travail), de Madrid (c’est là où je vis), de mes voyages (3 petits voyages le prochain mois)… et on verra… ce que j’ai envie de partager, je le partagerais, et vous me direz ce que vous en pensez!

Et je parlerai en anglais. Je ne rentrerai pas dans les détails de ce choix; c’est le choix le plus logique. Je n’hésiteraiquand même pas à mettre du français dans le texte, c’est ma langue maternelle après tout… voire à faire des posts entiers en français!

Voilà! Faites tourner comme dirait l’autre

Nicolas.
