Hi there,

i have been recently very busy with a new exciting project for an online store.
This is an amazing new french brand selling shirt for man online: all 100% made in France.
The name of this fabulous new brand is Mon Ours à Moi and they are locate in the center of France.
Chemises haut de gamme pour homme, frabrication Francaise, Made in France

This is another example how online store and ecommerce can dramatically help a business despite the remote location. With SEO, i'm quite confident that the traffic will bring some sales very soon.
In their newsletter, Google often talk about small business and the way eCommerce is helpfull for them. Well, this is the prefect example: http://www.mon-ours-a-moi.com


The site is in 2 langugages french and english and you can order 27/7 and pay by credit card.

The Credit card module of CIC was a bit challenging to set up as always with french bank system, they are not very helpful and almost never provide a ready made module for most common shopping cart software as eWay does in Australia for example. This would really boost the setting up of online shopping cart if french bank were more organised.

Please visit this new project I have just finished and let me know your feedback as alwasy in the omment section.

Lat months in July, I was in Tokyo for a promotional good expo. The biggest in South Asia.
This trip was for the lauch of our new website under our international Name badges branch. I was in charge of all the organisation of the exhibition on behalf of Name Badges International, the communication and the set up. I went in Japan in April to prepare for the trip.
The exhibition was a great succes for Name Badges International and our product were very well appraciated. This was a very rich experience and there is a great business potential.
Of course this is a new eCommerce website that I have designed and for the future, the one in Japanese will be an interesting challenge. eCommerce is getting bigger and bigger in Japan and i'm very excited to explore this new web territory as a web consultant. The http://namebadgesinternational.com.au is already a great success online.

This is the question asked for 2010 on the website of the edge.org, (World Question Center)!
The question is asked to each of us, they specify on the website that not WE, but YOU.

172 essayists (an array of world-class scientists, artists, and creative thinkers) have created a 132,000 document. (Click here to go directly to the responses).

I found that intersting to step back a little bit and think about how this technology is affecting the way I think and wanted to write my feedback on my blog.
From my perspective, as a web consultant, dealing with ecommerce and internet project everyday, the way I think is certainly deeply affected by Internet, and here are my thoughts.

1. The time and space
internet is affecting my relationship with time and space, there is no more one time concept for me, living in Australia;  but I think "common time space". When I'm chatting with my friends or clients simultaneously in Cameroon, France and Japan, and sometime even USA,  the time doesn't exit anymore. Therefore when I'm back in the real "local" time, I feel restricted to one track! This could have direct consequence in terms of behaviors and what is possible for me or how I THINK the time in reeal worl.
The other way the web is affecting the way I think the time is how I shop online - there is no shopping time or business hours online, where ever I am, Brisbane or Sydney or anywhere else. Only the delivery address is important.
I shop online when I need not when the shop is open and expect my parcel to be delivered very quick, probably quicker than if I order something in a "real shop". The concept of time on the web is a machine time, processing time, downloading time, ADSL time...Because I can login anywhere and anytime, this is creating a habit of immediate result and immediate accessibility!

2. CTRL + Z, Copy/Paste
Control + Z for those who doesn't know is the short cut to cancel the last operation you've done.
I saw myself many time being a bit frustrated because I couldn't cancel something I've done and wanted to have the possibility to use CTRL + Z. I also often miss my  "copy / paste" in the real worl...because I think efficienty, shortcut.
I know this sounds funny but I think it reveals a lot about the impact of the machine on me.

3. Organising and using information.
The way I think and store information in my brain has dramatically changed with the Web, I litteraly THINK "search engine". All my logic is changed and the concept of "keyword" or anticipating the machine algorythm before doing a research has changed the way I think informations and the way I use my memory.

Conclusion:

Internet is a virtual place with no location and no time where we're building/shiffting our life: shopping online, entertainement, business, meeting people etc...

These 3 concepts of Time/space, Abstract world, and Information, are driving us to the concept of simultaneous world. Consequently, I think the major change in the way Internet is changing the way I think is creating the feeling that I can be multiple, and I can have simultaneous actions. The question is what is the real positive impact on MY reality?!....thats another topic :)

Please feel free to answer to this question by adding a comment...and share your vision of Internet for 2010.
