Re: My social map is totally decentralized but I want it back on my blog

I think you've captured an important point about all these great new social services. We can't be expected to decentralize our web usage for long. We'll need to pick one place where we want to live our web life and embed these decentralized services in there.

Re: Like, Facebook is so over, dude

I think "grown-ups" who jumped on Facebook in the last few months and industry pundits (like you and me) who "discovered" Facebook last summer are coming to the realization that Facebook is really just a place to have fun and re-connect with old friends. That's not a bad thing as it's teaching social media etiquette to a whole generation of online users but it's not (yet?) a killer must-use site. I explored that concept in a recent blog post called "Facebook is just a game".

And like you, I find myself using Twitter more and more as a business tool.

I'm preparing a blog post explaining my theory behind how the group caught fire and we managed to get a large number of influencers quickly. I think Techmeme played a major role.

Re: Get The Answers You Need With LinkedIn

Ben,

I've used LinkedIn answers a dozen times already and I'm amazed at the quality and speed I get answers back. I've answered some questions as well, to give back to the community. When I ask myself a very specific business question, I turn to LinkedIn answers instead of searching Google as it becomes more efficient time-wise.

David,

You're more than welcome! You'll bring the VC point of view to the whole Web entrepreneur discussion and it's sorely lacking in Montreal.

Another interesting (and classic!) greasy spoon for breakfast on the Plateau is Ty-Coq, on Mont-Royal Est (between Papineau and Delorimier).

I suspect I'm one of the people Sylvain is talking about. Count me in.
