"I am what I create" says John Seely Brown addressing the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching - Stanford, CA, Oct. 23-25, 2008

Netvibes Appears to Be Dying

It seems that Netvibes is suffering after Tarik Krim left the company and Freddy Mini took over.

Marshall Kirkpatrick from ReadWriteWeb recently wrote:

Popular start-page service Netvibes may be in its final days as a viable product. The service has been suffering frequent, extended downtime, hasn't been fully functioning even when up and can't possibly be making as much money as its backers hoped it would.

CUELC Workshop

Last week, I attended the CUELC workshop in Paris and organized the second part of it in Aachen. We discussed the progress of the project and future implementation steps. The workshop program also included several interesting talks: 

- Ms. Doris Frank introduced the RWTH Center for Doctoral Studies.

- Armin Schulz from RWTH International Academy talked about "International Communication"

- Hani Sewilam from the Department of Engineering Hydrology in Aachen talked about his experiences in coordinating EU Tempus Projects.

- Ralf introduced the new EU IP ROLE.

I'll post photos from this event in the next days.
