I am looking for web conversation tools. Well, to be specific, I am looking for a list of tools that would help a business to listen to his clients or the global conversation; if there is such thing as global conversation. as you will see in my text - Shooting at the Stars that will be part of the second edition of the Age of Conversation, I really wonder if there could be such thing as a global conversation.

Any ways, I would really  like if you could help me build that list. I will share it with many.

Oui, c’est cette journée de l’année ou je vieilli sans gagner une années de plus… 7 ans! Bonne fête ma grande. Papa t’aime beaucoup.

As I am sitting in this conference from one the most influencial CEO in Quebec, I want to comment on what he just said. As he is speaking about web 2.0, he mentionnes that he wants to have a true conversation. I believe this word is used in a hypprocrite fashion. Everybody wants to have a conversation. But, everybody wants this conversation to be about himself. This means a pretty big noisy and chaotic multimonologue environment.

I think we all need a good definition as permanent reminder. We tend to mixe up conversation & monologue.

“A conversation is communication by two or more people, or by ones self. Conversations are the ideal form of communication in some respects, since they allow people with different views of a topic to learn from each other. A speech, on the other hand, is an oral presentation by one person directed at a group. ”

Nice conference so far… I will try follow up all day long on interesting findings. For instance, 2 sites that deserves to be looked at: www.twine.com & www.innocentive.com.

I think Drew, Drew’s marketing minute says it best:

Help us take Age of Conversation to the top of Amazon’s charts

…and raise money for the children of Variety.

So I have been selected to write a part The Age of Conversation 2008. That means I have to get back to writing on a regular basis. But first, here is my share in promoting the Bum Rush day on the 29th. This Saturday!

Here is what Drew at Drew’s marketing minute is proposing:

“We have finally overcome the litany of issues plaguing the retail distribution of The Age of Conversation –and are now planning an Age of Conversation Bum Rush. That’s right, we want to bring this ground-breaking work to a wider audience and have now made it available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other quality retail book selling sites.

But wait! Don’t rush out just yet to purchase your copy. Hold off until March 29. Here’s why … Chris Wilson has set out a plan of action designed to push the Age of Conversation up the best seller charts. Here’s how it works …

Et oui. C’est aujourd’hui. Je te souhaite une excellente journée.

Je me suis toujours dit que je ne ferais pas de propagandes sur blogue. Toutefois, voilà maintenant plus d’une année que je travail à mettre mon entreprise en marche. Bien voilà; mon premier site corporatif est en ligne - www.h2hinteractif.com. Vos commentaires sont certainement les bienvenus. C’est une première version qui évoluera avec le temps et la compagnie.

So here it is. I promised myself that I would not promote my services on my blog. After a full year of hard work to put my company together, I just launched my first corporate web site - www.h2hinteractif.com. Hey! It is a big deal for me, so I have to promote it. Your comments on how to improve the site are more than welcome.

I think I will have dinner with Ozzy Osbourne  next week-end. I will just call my buddy and tell him that I will be stopping by this week-end with the wife and kids. All this to say that I just got a Twitter mail telling me that Ozzy himself wanted me for a friend. I don’t think he will appreciate to know that I only know one or two songs from his repertoire. Anyway, kudos to Ozzy’s marketing team who did use Twitter.

But that got me wandering how I feel receiving such an Invitation. Well I don’t. I thought it was done in a poor manner. I received a txt type of mail. At least, make it HTML. How do you feel about such advertising?
