Tres Cool!
I wonder who is getting more out of this learning experience, Joanne or the intrepid (R)ocketboom viewers? Either way, some interesting insights were expressed by the Colan. Good one…
Bonjour Joanne,
Ton français est impeccable!
Je suis entièrement d’accord avec tes explications et l’impacte du blogging sur notre société.
Communiques avec moi lorsque tu décideras un jour de visiter Montréal.
I’ll give you a free tour of the city!
Subtitles make my head hurt.
Joann,
Your French is amazing. I almost fell in love ;)
keep it rolling, you are doing such a great job !
So lemme get this straight, sharing information and communication is good. Gosh, who would of thought.
Lots of French, little substance..but as long as joanne is serving the sizzle i will forgo the steak..
Dear Joanne,
You make me want to learn French! ;-)
Great episode and glad to learn what you think!
Cheers!
Mon entreprise ne laissera jamais les employés bloguer. Une fois, un magazine d’informatique auquel je suis abonné m’a demandé mon opinion sur la chute de Digital Equipment, on m’a interdit d’y répondre. Seuls les gens de relation publique peuvent faire ça.
Very cool. I’m in Boston - and it was cool to see something from podcamp (esp since I didn’t get to go ;(
Mes pensees ses pressent vers toi, Joanne.
Although I love Joanne, and love rocketboom, what was the point of this vlog? To show J speaking French? We know she speaks French. Who was she speaking to? Why were they relevant to this discussion? There wasn’t anything in the content that we didn’t know. I want to have a “wow, I wouldn’t have known that if I didn’t watch this vlog” kind of experience. when I watch my daily favourite.
Shameless attempt to give J credibility that she doesn’t need. Just watch previous eps to know she is perfect for this format, and has researched the topics she is talking about. And is also a natural.
Give us something else. We already watch vlog/clip sites. We already know that they are (sometimes) a great way to get new info that isn’t presented to us via the mainstream old media. And PLEASE don’t give us the sh*t on youtube, or similar sites. many of us already see this on numerous sites. It is not blogworthy (well, not this type of semi-pro vlog format - leave it for the crappy ones!)
Please stay original and fantastic.
RBer
Entendre ta voix en francais est un brin de soleil.
With an english voice your a pro and the best host RB ever had. In french you proved that you can speak, but forgot all your quality as a host.
The person that ask you to do this in French is in love with you and dont care what you will say or do. Good Luck!
Salut,
je vais commencer en Français.
Joanne, comme d’autres commentaires Francophones précédents, je suis impressionné par ta maîtrise de la langue de Molière. Je n’ai qu’un mot àdire : Merci de faire honneur àcelle-ci d’une si belle façon ! ( p.s : ton accent est très sexy :)
Anyway, I will go ahead in English because it is nevertheless the RB context. The subject developed today is very interesting, Blog Vs Net, Individual Vs Group, because we are clearly in a recasting of the sociological system, and precisely in the theory of the organization.
We usually evolve in an organization based on the system composed by workers, even if the theory of action indicates that it is desirable that the worker can express himself by his action to be performant for the system. (the worker and the system/the worker in the system/the worker create the system).
Within a company, that has an impact on the strategic analysis which we can carry out, like its operation.
This concept of blog by the worker is a good example of the action by the worker, and thus of this one creating the system.
It could be a revolution in this situation. We are at the beginning.
To finish by an example, I would like to subject to you a blog coming from Irving Wladawsky-Shepherd, VP IBM, in charge of the strategy, which individually expresses its vision of the business world, in relation with his domain.

Another communication way for the ( big ) group which is IBM.
Bonne continuation et encore Bravo !
S.
I read the CEO of Edelman’s blog, and I noticed he seems completely unconscious of the fact that 9/11 was an inside job, that it wasn’t Muslim terrorists who brought down the World Trade Center buildings or a plane that struck the Pentagon.
But of course we also know that the corporate media has aggressively censored out any evidence to this effect.
Now the final piece of the puzzle is put into place. Rocketboom is somehow linked to Edelman as well.
NO WONDER Rocketboom and other prominent blogs have kept up the censorship.
OMG!
That was very sexy. Actually.
O boze, ja nic nie rozumiem.
RB likes to say ‘We are so great! We are so great!’ every so often.
That’s all today was about.
Thanks for the first installment of “Behind the scenes” components!
Is it me (I don’t know French), but it sure seems like it takes a lot more words in French to say the same thing in English ;P
You make the same mistake many other podcasts do. You think we are fascinated with the topic of podcasting, just because you are a podcast. I didn’t subscribe to hear about the podcast community (as often as you do it.) It is like tuning into a TV news show and always seeing them covering the insides of the news business, the details of the newsgathering community, and so on.

Hey what happened to the week of behind the scenes stuff that was going to be shown on Rocketboom?
Looks like jb was the only one to catch on to the fact that this WAS the first installment of “Behind the Scenes”, and well done too.
Please Crespo, no “I’d like to pass my “baton” to Joanne” comments.
I have to admit that I wasn’t playing much attention to the content. But Joann’s sexy French definitely got me mesmerized. Now, I will go back and reread the subtitles.
Hi Joanne,
A beautiful women talkin’ a mile in minute in french, doesn’t get any better than that. Joanne your a heartbreaker, you sure are. Not gonna wait to see you next time pretty lady, I’m watching this one again.
Jimster,
If you care about democracy, and are not a fascist, you should defend those who seek the truth about 9/11.
The physical and video evidence shows, WTC buildings 1, 2, and 7 were demolished using explosives, specifically thermate.
No corporation or cabal can suppress these facts, try as they might.

Quand tu a mentionné Edelman et Rubel il y avait une frappe sur ma porte et le personne voulait installer une micro-chip dans mon cerveaux.
Maybe Popular Mechanics is part of the 9-11 coverup, but this article takes on most of the conspiracy theories pretty effectively.

Oh mon dieu, une épisode de RocketBoom complètement en francais?
Je suis agréablement surpris, bravo Joanne, nous t’adorons :)
speak english
Serge Gainsbourg would be all over this. Good thing for Joanne that he no longer walks amongst us.
The whole time I was watching this edisode I was thinking two things:
1. Who is Joanne talking to?
2. When is she going to pause and hear his response to the questions posed?
This was simply a monologue, en francais. I feel that it neither delivered new information about our world, nor added the perspective of the blogger to the subject (which would be podcamp2006? What French guys think about blogging? What French guys think about what Joanne thinks about blogging?).
Zut alors! Chaque jour n’est pas perfection.
Lovey, you spoke French!
“Merci” Joanne, excellent show :-)
Why couldn’t we see who she was talking to? Did they not want to appear on-screen? Not my favorite episode… but I’m not a fair-weather fan. :)
Geez… sharing is good except when it comes to camera time. How about showing who she is talking to for more than 1 second?
to twistedmama and kamuela man:
’speak English!!!’ ‘This is America!!!!’
You frigging morons! This is NOT America it’s cyberspace!
Don’t you get it you chauvinistic swampmonkeys?
The whole frigging idea of blogs and the wonderweb is that it crosses all frontiers and boundaries and allows us to bypass those chimps in government who pretend to represent us.
We are citizens of the world, capable of respecting the differences between nations and humans who speak differently.
But maybe, just like George W, you’d rather bomb the shit out of anyone who speaks in a voice you can’t understand.
Jeesus!
No time to do the news segment???….. so lets just film Joanne while she talks to some folks here.
Yeah that’ll work.
Was this the attempt to go “behind the scenes”?
I loved listening to Joanne speak french. Ah, I actually listened to it with the window minimized so I wouldn’t read the subtitles & actually had to comprehend the french. Joanne has so many hidden talents.
Hmm…
I have to say that it was pretty cool to listen to Joanne’s monologue in French for a little while at least. However, it would have been so much better if it had been more of a dialogue with the other person, and if we had been told (and preferrably shown) who she was talking to.
Wow this is great! She is so smart. I was at the event and I saw these french guys talking with many people. I had no idea that they looked at podcasting this way. I guess that behind that entire cool and low-key event some were thinking way way ahead. Joanne, Thiery and Frederic… you blow me away! I am rethinking my business model. PLEASE speak at the next event.
Rocketboom 2.0 has more than meet the eyes!
Thanks for today’s podcast.
Julian
Ok….I’m officaly in love with Joanne. I continue to come back to the Boom
DREW: The one thing that was most apparent to me is that Joanne has drunk the Kool-aid. I don’t believe that I’ve ever seen anyone feel so strongly about the significance of blogging.
worst interview i’ve ever seen. she wouldn’t STFU.
LOOK AT MY FRENCH!!!!!111one
Oh dear. All the complaints about “having” to listen to a foreign language (OMG!) and read subtitles (OMGx2!). I do hope that todays installment hasn’t revealed the true viewer base of Rocketboom. I’m guessing that the silent majority got it. Keep up the good, informative and educational work. If you make it entertaining as well, then that’s a bonus.
I loved this episode on so many levels.
I just forwarded it to someone who needs to hear what Joanne is saying.
I love that it’s in French.
Great job presenting a moment from PodCamp in a raw unedited form.
–Steve
Amanda who?
“Joanne, mon âme, sont des mots qui vont très biens ensembles… très bien ensembles.”
Thanks for a very nice episode. Loved the subjunctive.
Keep up the good work.
A British accent speaking French…..and she has trouble adopting an American accent?
Bravo Joanna pour ton français et pour ce très intéressant podcast. Je relaye dans la communauté de blogueurs français.
Vraiment très intéressant (et bravo pour votre français).
Je suis un fan de rocketboom. Vous êtes vraiment une fille géniale.
Bonne continuation.
Guy
Jimster,
On 9/11, we witnessed an attempted coup d’etat by the CIA and the Neocons. It failed, because firstly the Capitol wasn’t destroyed as planned, and generally there wasn’t enough for Bush to declare martial law. But ever since, Bush has been moving forward with his hijacking of America.
Did you know the USA now has operational concentration camps?
Do you think your loyalty to Bush will keep you out of one?
No, ME. Contact ME when you go to Montreal. Or anywhere for that matter. I live in California. Oh man, a brilliant, beautiful woman speeking french. It slays me.
Joanne speaks better French than I!
As for the behind the scenes content, I really can’t wait. I’ve always wanted to know how far this production goes in terms of funding, proffesionalism and scale.
I feel Joanne has done a good job of letting me in on the more philosophical underpinnings of vlogging.
What the mainstream media will not show, Mainstreet will not see. Esse est percipi. Vlogging/blogging is a two-way window. The Dawson College killer was blogging his mental states to the world before he went on a rampage this week in Montreal, killing and injuring a number students and pulling the trigger on himself, raising anew the spectre of Columbine, not to mention the horrific memory of the anti-feminist slayings of 14 women at Ecole Polytechnique 17 years ago (also in Montreal).
For those RBers who have not had enough French newscasting, there is the magnificent Melissa Theuriau.
http://www.melissa-theuriau.fr/
As others have been saying (or, at least, alluding to), this specific episode is not providing the type of contextualisation (”packaging”) described in the interview. It isn’t merely about steak and sizzle. Or about serving as anchorwoman. It’s about helping people get behind the information.
Of course, the content of the interview was relatively obvious. This is a context in which we would expect more discussion of, say, recent changes in the vlogosphere, differences between English- and French-speaking podcasters, or plans for the podcasting community. But it worked, in its own peculiar way.
J’ai bien aimé la traduction. Assez bien adaptée. Plutôt qu’une traduction litérale.
Et, comme les autres Montréalais, j’espère que RB va venir faire un tour ici. Si ce n’est que par notre bilinguisme, nous avons quelque-chose àoffrir àRocketBoom. Mais, ce qui est peut-être plus intéressant, nous avons aussi une scène blogue/balado-diffusion (podcast) assez dynamique. Très petite, mais très dynamique. Entre autres, notre blogosphère fait l’objet de rencontres mensuelles.
To explain what appears to be now an obviousness is always a difficult exercise. But you arrived there so easily !
