This week pointblog.com interviewed Xavier des Horts, communications director for Nokia France, to talk about the Nokia 7710 VIP Blog that I launched a while ago.
(Sorry, interview in French).
Funnily enough, everyone believes the blog was created by Nokia (including BusinessWeek a while ago), which is not the case. Xavier nicely corrects that statement in this podcast again and mentions me a couple of times ;)
And to make things clear, Nokia *gave* us the phone with the only constraint to use it for 2 months as our main phone. We could do whatever we wanted, say whatever we wanted, and no one was asked to do anything, including set up a blog. But it worked out as the Nokia7710 is a cool phone...
Pix above taken at lunch this week with Xavier and some other folks. The guy didn't even mention he had been talking about me on this podcast or at EBG conferences (I've heard it ;)
PS: Xavier & Cyril: you were wondering about the stats of this Nokia7710 blog. They are here! Available since the very beginning :) Last, but not least, it's not 10 bloggers that I invited to join me on this blog, but indeed 22 bloggers + myself.
PPS: my first mention in a podcast (actually a real interview) was at the Cannes Film Festival this year.
