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

PC..?

Today we ordered a PC! We’re working on the IE support (getting close) so we needed a PC.

Pizza and Champagne (great combi)

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

Jeeez, totally forgot to post this! Last week I went bowling with my friends. It was boys against the girls. We both won, the boys won the game, the girls the crowd

The Fleck team landed this morning at 9 o’clock in Amsterdam and at noon Guido van Nispen came by at Fleck HQ to make pictures of the Fleckees in the white suits.

Firefox users can view them through my eyes.

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…..

For my FireFox friends only!

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
For my Dutch readers check out my comments on the Emerce post

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

We’re live and totally flecked

We were at the Techcrunch 8 party tonight and at 7:25 am New York

Time Fleck was born. Michael Arrington pushed the button on Boris’

blackberry and the server got up! Marshal Kirkpatrick posted a blog

on TechCrunch and off we went!!

The party was great, we were wearing white suits with white ties and

we were armed with permanent markers and one-inch Fleck buttons. It

was great! Everybody was wondering what was up with those white suits

with all those email addresses on them.

We had a lot of fun and met a lot of nice people.

Kudos for the TechCrunch team.

So, you all got the chance to Fleck us in real life, now go Fleck the

Web!
