Congratulations. You have just reached the « 365 days experience blog », the most unreachable blog on the web. I’ve indeed realized that for some reason googling “the 365 days experience” (even with quotes) won’t get you here anymore. It took me 10 minutes to figure out a way to reach my own blog.
I have to admit I first felt offended by google’s engine explicit lack of interest for my content. In fact, I felt terrified. Was I no more worthy of a link? Was it because I had moved back from Paris to my home town? Did going back to Louveciennes not only mean the extinction of my social life but also that of my virtual subsistence? Was it time for me to abandon my laptop and migrate to a secluded shack in the forest? I was horrified. Had I lowered to the level of Henry David Thoreau*?
But I was wrong. I was just seeing things from the wrong angle. This blog has now become the very privileged rendez-vous point of a few “connoisseurs”. And that feels great, doesn’t it? Who said positive thinking could only get you so far? Well, just so you know, I’m not betraying my blog just because google lost faith in it, although I might switch it to Wordpress sometime, but I’ll let you know when that day comes. Btw, I changed the commentary parameters so anyone can post comments (Peggy, Baptiste, si vous m’entendez…)
*American “philosopher”. Also known as the man who wrote a very long book about how great his experience of living an autonomous life in the forest was, when he was actually camping in a friend’s garden and having his mom do his laundry on weekends.

Je t'entends Alexis!
Merci d'avoir changer les parametres de commentaires je vais enfin pouvoir discuter avec ton blog sans devoir passer par Facebook... un détour un peu long pour une flemarde comme moi.
Si je puis me permettre tu devrais être particulièrement fier d'être rejeter par Google. Tu as été reconnu comme un être tellement unique que meme Google, notre "big brother" à tous, ne te voit pas sur son radar! C'est un exploit complétement hors du commun, et quelque part tu deviens le leader de toute une communauté alternative qui refuse la suprématie googlienne...
Trêve de connerie, je retourne à mon boulot dans ma multinationale américaine, probablement cousine de Google dans l'attente de ton poste aujourd'hui.
Et d'ailleurs, c'est où Louveciennes?
J'avoue être assez fier de ne plus être sur google, les meileurs blog sont les plus difficilement accessibles, c'est bien connu ;)
Quant à la charmante commune de Louveciennes, elle se trouve non loin de Versailles et de St Germain en Laye, mais reste assez difficile à repérer sur une carte. La meilleur manière d'y accéder est d'avoir un sextant, une boussole ou un gps. Pour plus de précision, ci joint mes coordonnées complètes:
Latitude 48°51'17.64"N
Longitude 2° 7'21.29"E
To be on Google, or not to be. Well, not so the question.
Ceux qui "googlent" le web sont en general en quete d'info. Si c'est pas ce que tu proposes, tu peux snobber Google tout ton saoul. Les buzz ne sont pas crees par Google ; Google est meme techniquement l'archetype du suiveur. Ensuite, certe, il emplifie.
Par contre, c'est assez facile de generer gratuitement un peu de flux vers sont blog.
Tiens, tu fais dans le cynique ? Check it out.
Ce qui fait le plus mal, c'est que c'est assez vrai...
