Connection time 08

Hello everybody

Sorry, but due to a bad manipulation, the original post has been deleted, as well as the comment from James. I restored as much as I could 🙂

You’ll find hereunder an idea we would like to set up for early september. If you want to comment, do not hesitate.

Jordan asked me how many people from Text100 I know on Delicious. I realized that I had some account in mind for France but really not that much, especially with our US / APAC / EMEA colleagues from the peer media team.

The same for twitter – I found some text100 contact on twitter, but it’ not all the time easy.

So, here is the idea : launching a mail chain with the topic “Peer media team connect campaign” (or something like that) to encourage people to share their social media presence during a limited time period (2 weeks).
Blog, twitter, delicious, digg, website, linkedin, friendfeed, facebook, flickr, youtube, vimeo, dailymotion, google reader, etc, etc – any social media thing that people would be willing to share and that could link us with each other …
All the information could then be gathered somewhere on sharepoint at the end.

And I even rapidely drafted a banner for that to include to the email 🙂

Suzanne Smith recommended to wait people to come back from holidays before launching it, but I would like first to get your opinion.

Problem with the big firewall ?

It seems Ava has some issues accessing the plateform in china

Hi guys,

I cannot access this site. However, if it can be accessed by others than this limitation may be due to the “Great China Firewall” as it has blocked my wordpress blog previously. If it is due to this reason, than I am not sure what we can do and we may need to look at another option because we should have a solution that can involve China.

Sure it is a major problem … and I cannot access anymore http://www.greatfirewallofchina.org/ to see where the problem is coming from …

Once the test period with WP will be over, will the blogs still be hosted by wordpress.com ? I’m afraid that the plateform might be blocked in china. Do you know if it will be planned to host the blog plateform on our Text 100 servers ?

Thomas Crampton previously had the same issue : http://www.thomascrampton.com/dalian/wordpresscom-and-the-great-firewall-of-china/
