| Loic Le Meur - What is a blog? |
 |
Loic Le Meur, Executive Vice President and
General Manager of Europe, Middle East and
Africa for SixApart, the company behind one
of the most popular professional blogging
tools, Movable Type (the very system used to
publish this site), is a popular and much
followed blogger. Loic is also the organizer
of Les Blogs an annual blog conference held
in Paris.
I have had the opportunity to meet Loic
during the Microsoft Search Champs 2 program,
in April 2005 in Redmond. For the little I
have had the time to exchange with him, I
felt Loic to be a clever and very talented
businessman, with great communication
abilities. He is an ever smiling, outgoing
and optimistic person capable of transmitting
the blogging fever to anyone who happens to
talk him into the topic.
In the coming weeks I will be publishing more
clips from this bus-interview I had the
opportunity to snatch from him while riding
to the Microsoft campus. And if you can't
make sense of Loic classy French accent here
is a full transcript of what he said.
"Blogs are a very simple Internet sites
that have free, special characteristics.
First one, its very very simple to
publish them, so you can publish only with an
email, or if you know how to use a browser, a
web browser you can just use a blog. And you
can even post with a phone like this, we call
it mob-blogging.
The second difference, there are
comments, so blogs contrarily to other
websites, they do start discussions on
everything. Discussions on politics, on any
particular topics, like sports.
And the third difference is that people
get audience which did not happen with
personal homepages before. So there are some
blogs that are very very well referenced for
instances, and people get a lot of readers.
It's already going mainstream. It's not
limited anymore.
There's a survey which has just been out,
that there will be more than 15 million
bloggers at the end of 2005. So I don't think
it will be limited to geeks or people who
like technology, it's not anymore, really.
It's human resource professionals, it's
kids..
We have 2 million weblogs in France
already, so it's kind of amazing.
Basically anybody with something to
share. We all have something to share and the
key thing is for people to learn it, to
understand why.
I have a lot people who tell me how do
you find the time?
How do you find an hour or two per day to
blog and read of blogs?
Because it's not only writing, it's
reading the others. And basically you have to
have understood what it is in it for you,
what it brings to you.
And I would always advise to do it one
month, two months, or three months to try
and, everyday almost, and people then can
start commenting your blog.
On mine, for example, I have two thousand
notes, and eight thousand comments, so if you
think about it, I have four times the people
write on my blog than myself.
So it's written by the people, you become
a place where you talk about something. Like
mine is about entrepreneurship, about Europe
and about blogs, of course."
