Fiber Mania

I just came across a brand new (4 months old) website dedicated to Fiber Optics: Fiber Optic Mania. Plenty of informations for both novices and experts. A bit too much of Google AdSense stuff, but as soon as you forget those banners and ads links, the site is worth reading (note to Fiber Optic Mania' s editor: where's the "subscribe" button ?).

Welcome and good luck, Buddy !

Fiber Optic Mania is here.

Now I have to write my bio (just kidding ;-)

Mummy, Governator Is Following Me !

This is the true power of Twitter: break the frontiers and connect together people who normally couldn't be in touch. See the wowing email that I've got today :

Hi, Marc Duchesne (mduchesn).

Gov Schwarzenegger (schwarzenegger) is now following your updates on Twitter.

Check out Gov Schwarzenegger's profile here:

Best,

Twitter Made Simple

Ever wondered what the heck is this "Twitter" everybody is talking about those days ?

Watch the best journalist and interviewer on Earth Jon Stewart explaining the social service (I know, it's a couple of weeks old in the Blogosphere, but it's still very funny ;-)

Fibering Twitterland

For those of you who seek informations and/or jobs in the Optical Communications sector, here are your new companions : FiberNews and FiberJobs, which you can follow on Twitter respectively here and here.

Of course, those are RSS feeds which I've put together thanks to Yahoo!Pipes and other cool Web 2.0 tools (BTW, have you noticed how the expression "Web 2.0" is old fashion those days ?). 

FiberNews delivers news on FTTH worldwide, and FiberJobs delivers job postings related to FTTH (US only for the time being). Simple, isn't ?

Green Is At The Top Of The Top

Evan Carmichael of EvanCarmichael.com has recently published an impressive list of blogs to follow (Twitter, Twitter...) this year 2009. Guess what : everything Sustainability is at the top of this list.

Forget Web 2.0, WebTV, and all the geek stuff. This year, Green is the motto. Let's hope it will stay so for the hundred years to come.

To start with, you may subscribe to TreeHugger right now.

However, the key question is: when will Guy Kawasaki launch his own new venture in the Green field ? ;-)
