The CEO, Mathieu is on his way to New York for the next TechCrunch Disrupt. As you may know, GetVega won Techcrunch recipes and it was part of the price. We all expect that he will return with fame and glory, not to mention a lot of contacts.

Our Wizard is cooking magic algorithms in his cave for the next GetVega release. Well, to be honest… it’s not a cave but a cool open space with a bright light. Aurélien is a kind of modern wizard, which means that he doesn’t deal with crappy things and dead creatures (I’m 99% sure of that, but sometimes he works by night…).  He builds a new kind of high level semantic artificial intelligence. If you don’t understand what it means, then you can call him Wizard.

The web designer is working on his side and also deliver blog posts. He honestly has nothing original to say this week (this does not mean he is doing nothing, I personnaly think he is doing great!), but he swore on his grand mother’s grave to write one blog post per week. By the way, I’m the web designer. Do you think it’s a shame ? I do!

So, next time I guess Mathieu will speak about his trip to New York ;-)

Yep, Facebook announced their own “Like” button, some months ago at their F8 conference.

And that time again that’s a hit! How do they do that? For such a small button??

An interesting discussion this weekend led me to think about Google Buzz. It seems that around me people remain very negative about it. Among critics we can find its complexity, its disturbing GMail integration, or just a “Pff-yet-another-twitter” kind of reaction. But still, having thought about it for a while, I do think that Google Buzz is awesome: its UI, its integration with other Google services, its feature set – Google Buzz feels a bit like a Twitter 2.0 for me… So what is the problem?
