“When you’re first starting a fund, you're going to spend your first five years, realistically, actively raising money from LPs—and that is your primary role. It is not interfacing with founders and helping entrepreneurs; that's a small piece. I think it's important that people realize: if you just want to work with entrepreneurs all day, join an existing fund.” – Andrew Dumont Andrew Dumont (@andrewdumont) is the CEO of Meteor and WeWorkRemotely and the Founder of Curious Capital. He was previously the CMO of Bitly and an Entrepreneur in Residence at Betaworks. He’s spent his career building and growing companies like Moz, Seesmic (acquired by Hootsuite), Stride (acquired by Copper), and Tatango. He’s also an advisor at Techstars and Startup Weekend, and he writes for Inc. Magazine.

Le 1er novembre, Facebook décidait d’exclure certaines pages et leurs créateurs au motif qu’ils n’avaient pas respecté les guidelines de la plateforme. Une sanction qui n’est pas exceptionnelle mais très visible car il touchait des pages aimées par des millions de gens comme celle du réseau Firerank, petite entreprise faisant travailler une trentaine de personnes pour faire du contenu viral. Un acte qui n’est pas anodin pour l’avenir de la société mais qui nous rappelle la toute puissance de ces plateformes.Facebook, Google, YouTube, Apple ont dans leur main l’avenir de nombreuses entreprises. Ce sont des entreprises qui gèrent leurs plateformes en fonction de leur revenus et de leur propre stratégie. Ne dépendre que d’elles ou que de l’une d’elle est potentiellement très dangereux. Sur Internet, on a eu tendance à oublier une règle importante du business : diversifier ses sources de revenus pour ne pas se rendre dépendant. C’est pour cela que je tiens autant à l’éco-système numérique et global que l’on doit se créer autour de sa marque personnelle et de son activité.Liens : - Firerank : http://www.firerank.com- Les explications de Firerank : https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/disparition-de-firerank-sur-facebook-voici-la-charles-marginier/- Le cas de Loïc Le Meur avec Seesmic : https://www.frenchweb.fr/loic-le-meur-ma-plus-belle-erreur-batir-dans-la-cour-dun-autre-2/113201- Quand Facebook virait des apps en 2008 déjà : https://techcrunch.com/2008/07/07/facebook-continues-war-on-app-developers-this-week-super-wall/---A propos du podcastVotre Coach Web est mon podcast sur la création de contenu pour aider ceux qui veulent s’exprimer sur internet et les réseaux sociaux, développer leur visibilité et en vivre.Tout savoir sur le podcast et poser vos questions : https://votrecoachweb.com/podcastS’abonner au podcast :- sur iTunes : https://itunes.apple.com/fr/podcast/votre-coach-web/id1249494221?mt=2 - sur Google Play Music : https://play.google.com/music/m/I7f4meeenujgugju3b3nxvhdsdi?t=Bertrand_Soulier_-_Votre_coach_web- sur Stitcher : https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/bertrand-soulier/votre-coach-web?refid=stpr- et sur Android en général : http://subscribeonandroid.com/www.spreaker.com/show/2528186/episodes/feed- Vous pouvez aussi écouter le podcast sur YouTube : http://bertrand.video/podcastNouveauté : je teste Patreon avec une page dédiée au podcast : https://www.patreon.com/bertrandsoulierPour prolonger :- Mon groupe d’entraide et de conseil sur Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/groups/242687639569739/- Ma lettre sur la création de contenu : https://www.getrevue.co/profile/soulierbertrandN’hésitez pas à me poser vos questions sur Facebook, Discord, Instagram ou Twitter avec le hashtag #askbertrand et sur le formulaire : http://bertrand.video/askbertrandSur les réseaux sociaux :- Twitter : http://twitter.com/bertrandsoulier- Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/soulierbertrand- Instagram : http://www.instagram.com/bertrandsoulier- YouTube : http://bertrand.videoMes blogs :- Mon blog tech et pro : http://www.bertrand-soulier.com- Cyberbougnat : http://www.cyberbougnat.net- Mon blog de mec : https://www.monblogdemec.fr
Advertising Influencers: Conversations with Marketing Thought Leaders

Prior to Bitly, Andrew served as the Entrepreneur in Residence at Betaworks, a startup studio in New York behind companies like Digg, Giphy, and Bitly. He is also a member of Forbes 30 under 30 class of 2014. In this episode, Andrew discusses the direct ROI of digital advertising, the importance of advertising sophistication, and an account based marketing approach to turn a freemium product into a powerful enterprise software solution.

The magic of social networks is that you can meet people all around the World. You should organize meetups, tweetups, facebookups, what you like, but meet them. Your real fans are the key.

Les animateurs :- Patrick Beja- Cédric Bonnet- Loïc Le MeurLes sujets abordés :Un épisode spécial, presque entièrement consacré à la conférence Google IO, vue par l'oeil de développeur expert et touche à tout de Loïc (et Cédric est pas mal non plus. :) Nous couvrons le Google Chrome WebStore, la GoogleTV, Android 2.2, WebM... et plein d'autres choses encore !

Three InSight, Episode 6. Google's URL Shortener. Do we really have to talk about Google? Yes. URL shorteners have good/bad side. Curious about monetization. Bit.ly Pro now exists because of Google's service. Bit.ly offers the best tracking. Google wants to be able to index shortened URLs, and this is a great way to enable it. Shorteners are becoming a risky proposition, don't click stuff if you don't know the source. Hackers are preying on our trust with shorteners. Will goo.gl links show up in Google Analytics? Analytics and Adsense are paired nicely. Metzger Associates is using Bit.ly in press releases - intentionally. These days the URL/domain isn't so important because everything is being shortened. Big scary URLs are now simple. Dave uses the public library to reserve books and uses Google search to get there so he doesn't have to remember the actual URL. No singing for the holidays in the podcast, that's a promise.Google's Nexus One - which came first, Nexus One or Nexus Six? Duh :) Palm is coming back with Pre and Pixi - is the dawn of renewed competition on the horizon? Apple started the app abstraction process with the mobile providers - and now Google is taking it one step further with an unlocked phone that works on either GSM network. The price may be reduced if you allow ads on the service. There's plenty of competition in the industry. Hardware should be carrier agnostic. We all want the carrier to simply provide pipes. Oh, MobileMe rocks. Doyle's ISP argument - what if you had to turn in your PC, or get a new one every time you switched ISPs at home? That's the way the mobile world works right now. Comcast buys BNC Universal, is that another step down the path of paid content? If you're a Comcast subscriber, will NBC content get higher priority? Java promised write once run anywhere. People are working on the same for iPhone/Windows Mobile/Android. Once that becomes easy the apps will proliferate. Tablets are on the way - just a matter of time. Amazon has Kindle, Barnes and Noble has the Nook. It's just a matter of time before the Crunchpad (joojoo) and the Apple tablet appear. Netbooks are hot right now but will ultimately vanish. Tablets may just cause their demise. Apple's purchase of Lala could mean that we get to take our iTunes libraries to any device, not just Apple endorsed devices. Stream Lala on the iPhone if you can't fit the whole library on your phone. Devices will become just receivers for content. Dave has a G4 media server... G4? Really? :) The next generation of content will be serverless. Dave suggests that ten of thousands of copies of The Dark Knight might be easily replaced with single digital streams. But what if the server crashes? More data is lost because of user error, that is the case with professionals (Danger! excluded).Facebook privacy settings. New privacy changes are a nightmare. Yes! Michael got a prompt in Facebook, set some things, and clicked OK. Doyle thinks it's silly… much ado about nothing. Dave's view is that Facebook promised privacy. This dialog and these changes violate that trust. (note: "Everyone" was default only if you hadn't changed the settings previously. If you had, they did their best to match what your modified settings were). Managing these settings isn't for the novice - which arguably is the Facebook population, and weren't well described. Confusion is the cause and result of all of this. They're trying to make it a better place with more control, but may have botched this one in their communication. Google doesn't care about your stuff. Big Brother is watching! (LOL, that's a joke). There are 100 million users and Facebook might be their first experience with social media. Doyle thinks they're over-reacting. Michael thinks the problem is that Facebook assumed a higher level of intelligence in the average American than they should have. But at least they're trying. Doyle suggests that Facebook, when they make a substantive change, should provide videos for each level of user. That way everyone understands. One popup for 350 million people isn't an effective means of communications. Dave suggests that his daughter's content is, and should remain, private. His daughter would have just clicked OK. Everything would then have been public instead of friends only which was the agreement he and his daughter made. Kids in 1840 weren't taught to look both ways before crossing the street. If you're parenting the same way now, you're in for a load of trouble. Dave is sophisticated enough to know how to make that change. We've got to evolve our parenting style to match the technology our kids play with.Facebook ties to Twitter. Dave wants content filters. Wants to be able filter Facebook by removing the #fb tag. Dave's insistent that people separate their feeds and not cross post. Let's hope this doesn't cause a DOS with Twitter (bi-directional syncing!). Doyle could podcast with himself. We all have friends on both networks that aren't on the other. Social media is facing an oligopoly. Michael only follows people he's met IRL on Twitter but has 780 followers. Facebook is IRL only. Tweetdeck is kind of solving this problem with checkboxes (so is Seesmic). Different networks have different expectations. Twitter can support dozens of updates per hour from someone, where that's not OK on Facebook. LinkedIn now supports Twitter sync…but why? That's just not OK. It's business focused and people's private tweets don't belong there. They way a guy talks in a locker room is different from the way a guy talks at Thanksgiving dinner. Doyle is proof (based on the studio audience). Do men and women talk differently in a locker room? Yes! Doyle is censoring himself because we asked him to? Props to B-Side, they're done at the end of the year. We're looking for a new home for the podcast. We're open to wealthy potential sponsors too. Happy Holidays!Reach the hosts: Doyle Albee: http://doylealbee.com, Michael Sitarzewski: http://friendmichael.com and Dave Taylor: http://davetayloronline.comThanks for listening!

Please tell me: as I am thinking about what we should add next in Seesmic Desktop (ex-Twhirl) it will help me prioritize what we should add.Here is my sequence in general, with lots of new steps now that we are focusing so much on helping everybody build their communityThe most important-my email, see if anything important with the company happened during my sleep-check seesmic.com and the stats of everything we do (number of downloads, seesmic for facebook stats etc)-check the company chat backchannel (powered by Skype)What everybody is saying-check what everybody is saying on Twitter about Seesmic, Twhirl and... yes I check my name too-check what everybody is saying on Google blog SearchSay hi to my community-say hi on Twitter, which also posts to Facebook and other social software-often a quick short videoRead (and answer what I can) my social software replies (that includes seesmic and twhirl):-my Twitter @replies-my direct messages-my Skype chats-my seesmic video replies-my blog comments-my Facebook page and Seesmic's page comments-my YouTube comments-my Friendfeed comments-my Flickr comments Read the news-Techmeme -Read the friends I follow on Twitter-Key blogs and friends (I won't name them here, save it for a later post)-See the front page of the NY Times and sometimes some french press-If I have time also read my Google reader (I have to admit that's less and less)-I start to pay attention to two Ning communities these days, Triiibes and Geeks so I check what's happening thereThe whole process takes 30 mins to one hour, every morning. How about you? What is your sequence? Did I miss anything important?more at loiclemeur.com
The word of mouth in public has never been as fast and worldwide with the Twitter growth. More important than marketing or advertising is what your community, your users, are saying about your product or your brand.Listen first to everything being said about your brand on Twitter search (follow the space as well, your competition and the key players)Sort what you see into categories, here are a few:complainsproduct suggestionsnew features requestsbusiness opportunitiescongratulationspeople recommending your products to their friendsetcDecide if there is an action needed or not to every single one, I would go for the negatives and help request firstAnswer them as fast and as best as you canGet into a private conversation with the user if the conversation continues and follow up until he is happyIt is easy to describe how to do it best but much more difficult to actually apply it to your brand especially if people talk a lot about it. I think it is worth the time and resources investment.A good case study: Robert Scoble yesterday saw me saying on Twitter that our web host for Seesmic, Servepath, went down for more than 5 minutes and took some of its customers sites down entirely. Robert follows me but probably also follows Rackspace his new employer. Robert took this opportunity to write a blog post and we got into a conversation on Twitter and his blog.In a matter of minutes, representatives from both Servepath (our host) and Rackspace (Robert's company interested in getting our business) started to get in the conversation with many customers of both commenting at the same time. It was priceless information about their services but also competitive information for the companies themselves. All in public, that is very new.I have insisted that I was not dissatisfied in general by Servepath but of course annoyed that we went down entirely for a significant time given the budget allocated to our hosting. Now Amazon went down a few times too and I take it Rackspace has its problems too, but this is not my point here.Brands who are not listening will fail but listening is not enough. Very few of them actually start getting immediately in the conversation. I saw an article and that was explaining the popular shoe brand Crocs was going out of business and in a matter of minutes their community manager answered saying that as any business they were going through tough times but that they were safe.Congratulations to all these brands for their transparency and more important, for getting in the conversation, including on week-ends!

Loïc Le Meur, the charismatic Frenchman who is starting a video conversation startup named Seesmic, spoke with me in the hallway today at Video on the Net (VON) in Boston. Loïc explained why radical transparency in his venture is not a risk, but a competitive advantage. That's why he and his team are posting videos five times a week, showing every detail of the startup and asking for help from the approximately 2,000 people subscribed. They give lots of it. Tres interessant! The waiting list to join Seesmic stands at about 5,000 and I'm right in there, hoping to get a chance to try it out. Loïc is wisely waiting until the alpha program is well tested before opening up to everyone who is eager to join the video conversation. He says in this interview that we will only have to wait another month or two. Photo by Nate Aune. Thanks, Nate!
