mar. 25.01.2005 13:57 Photo(479)Very intense discussions today, I'll try to write more tonight but I am here now with Oliver Samwer of Jamba! discussing about... weblogs of course. I am very impressed by the growth of Jamba! Worldwide and happy to meet a fellow european entrepreneur.

I am sure Oliver and his brothers have some good ideas about blogging in Germany. It´s about time good old Germany wakes up to blogging. We are trying our best as well, by providing a new blog hosting service since yesterday on www.blog.de so that more Germans can start a blog these days :-)

It´s pretty naked still, but will evolve over time hopefully

Oh, please tell your readership what this guy has to say about blogs...

And don't forget to ask him about the spreeblick.de article that covered Jamba! ;-)

Loic, (hi :-)

you know for sure the story about german bloggers and Jamba, dont you (a small analogy to Kryptonite)? Ask him, maybe he can tell you some enjoying stories :-))

Hey German friends you could be nicer on my blog with my new German entrepreneur friend Oliver, there aren't that many in Europe :-)

Anyway, Oliver has read your comments and know apparently what you are talking about, I think Oliver is considering launching his own blog so stay tuned !

Loic, January 25, 2005 at 17:38

fantastic. And, Loic, dont understand us wrong, we are nice. Im sure we dont mean the entrepreneur Jamwer, we mean Jamwer the company itself since it was something like small media-publishing break-through for the german blogosphere ;-)

Robert, January 25, 2005 at 17:47

Loic,

despite living in Berlin and not knowing Oliver personally, I would assume we can be more curious about Oliver´s future blog hosting service - maybe "jamblogs" ?? :-))

It would not surprise me if his fingers are a little triggerhappy already, especially after talking to you :-)

But I would definately be interested in his own blog as well, count me in :-)

Hearing the news of Oliver considering to start a blog himself is excellent. But I would like to see him persuading his brothers to join the blogosphere as they are ambitious entrepreneurs, as well.

Although not being a big fan of Jamba! I firmly believe that the Samwer brothers deserve big credit for their alando.de venture.

That's what I like about blogs is usually the discussion gets balanced in some way. I hear some people posted in German bad comments on me saying "great" entrepreneur.

Well don't hit me on this. I have been three years in Davos and never met young German entrepreneurs there yet. Europe is kind of asleep and too much into comfort so I am very happy when I meet european entrepreneurs.

No if there is some controversial discussion about Jamba! on blogs, it is still I think a good risk taking and a good company development. As far as the controvertial talks are concerned, unfortunately I don't speak german so I cannot read, discuss and judge.

All I can say is Oliver is definitely a very nice person to spend time with and if you are not happy about what Jamba! is doing, well tell him, I really hope he will start is blog.

Looks like I will be in Berlin on February 11th, anybody interested in a dinner the day before ?

Loic, January 25, 2005 at 23:40

Hi Loic, lets meet on February here in Berlin and I will explain you the Jambä! businessmodel from my perspective.

Alexander Korte, January 30, 2005 at 14:58

well, well, after all:

to ego-boosting bobos eat out ... ;-))))

About

Welcome to my blog. Based in San Francisco, I am an entrepreneur and a blogger. I just started my fifth startup, Seesmic, a community driven video social software. Here is what TechCrunch says about it.

I am blogging every day a video on loic.tv about (almost) everything I do as I start Seesmic, I also constantly post short thoughts to twitter and often my pictures on Flickr.

I also organize every year in Paris the conference LeWeb3 that gathers more than a thousand bloggers and entrepreneurs from 40 countries on Dec 11 and 12.

If you would like to learn more, here is a bio, my LinkedIn profile, my wikipedia pages in english and french. Sometimes they are subject to changes that do not always reflect what I consider the truth but that is the principle.
