in Notifixous is back! on Notifixious : Founder's blog
Hey Ju,
Thanks for sharing your adventure. The exact same thing (having data that we're not able to restore because never tested) happened to us recently (fortunately, much quicker recovery), we should've documented on our blog so that it might not have happened to you. What you just wrote about Amazon actually worries me: I don't think their marketing looks particularly ethical. However, I don't want to draw conclusions before investigating further on EC2 (to my opinion, it is rather expensive so there should be some service level like data restoring at least).
I hope Notifixious didn't lose too much business in this period of time. Good luck guys, keep on the good work!

in Reversing the flow on L'Ouvre Boite
Mmmm, there are ways to make information come to you: Feedburner (get RSS you love by email) for instance, or Google Reader or Netvibes as a home page. But still, you're right: most of the time there is a need for positive action in order to get suitable information. And my example mainly dealt with news, not information ('news' is just one bit of all information available). Good luck to you and long live Notifixious!
Cheers man,
Jeremy

Thanks Jeremy. You're right, sometimes the information comes to you... but most of the time it's in the wrong form : email... = bac'n!
Also, when you use Netvibes of Google Reader the information doesn't come to you... It comes to your Netvibes or your readers : If you don't start them, you won't know! It's actually 2 positive actions (adding the website, checking Netvibes/Reader...)
Anyway, good to see you here! I'll be in Paris soon for a week, let's have lunch/dinner at the Verteego offices!

in Entrepreneurship requires more & more focus + love on Sounds + Food 'n' Retail
Beautiful piece of blogging Vince. Entrepreneurship indeed requires love for what you do, for your vision, for your product if you already have one. Keep it up! I believe you have the very best Food & Retail blog of the Internet, alongside maybe with Michel de Guilhermier.
Take care man, & keep us posted
Jeremy

Thanks for the encouraging words, J., coming from you that means a lot! Indeed, Michel de Guilhermier's blog is great! I just bookmarked about 10 of his (English) posts on retail and promised myself to read them this weekend.

in Internal (store-)competition - the games strategists play on Sounds + Food 'n' Retail
Nice one! Vince, you should consider starting a consultancy focusing on helping retailers with their strategies. You've developed quite a sound expertise and, being a reader of this blog from Day 1, I can tell your skills have soared in very impressive ways.
PS: it's funny you mention Media Markt. There used to be one in Rotterdam, but I guess many visitors don't have a clue of what this kind of shop is :)

Thanks for the compliment, J. Consulting is certainly a direction I'm considering at this stage. More on that and related plans, perhaps in a few weeks.

in Interrupting my blogging-schedule for 12 days !! on Sounds + Food 'n' Retail
I can't wait to take a look at your thesis man. Enjoy your blogging "holiday" and good luck indeed. But with such an interesting topic, I could as well say "I envy you" or "I'm jealous".

Thanks Jeremy. I guess, you'll hear from me in 12 days, and I'll send you the beast when it's done. Have a great trip through Silicon Valley also!
As far as EC2 is concerned, I really don't know what to think. On one hand, it's probably one of the most innovative solution, and on the other hand, sometimes, it feels like "an experiment" for Amazon. It also seems that they only "care" about the big guys who pay for customer support...
Anyway, keep up the good work at Verteego as well!
