Seedcamp's Sush.io to demo their Mint.com competitor at The Next Web Startup Rally. Yesterday, TheNextWeb announced the 16 finalists for their TNW European Conference Startup Rally. The competition, which includes the likes of Infogr.am & PeerIndex, also includes a French startup, Sush.io. The Paris-based startup has spent a little over a year working on their finance tool which seems to be meant to rival the American Mint.com. The startup recently pitched at Start in Paris in what now seems to be great practice for their upcoming showcase in April. Cofounded by CEO Thomas Guillaumin and CTO Fabien Charbit, Sush.io brands itself as “Invoicing and budgeting made easy.
All your invoices and documents secured. Automatic statistics and graphs makes it easy to track budget and expenses.” targeting startups that are tired of excel (this is a crowded space) and for companies too small to afford a CFO. (or hell, an accountant for that matter). I’ve been waiting for quite some time to see what their product will look like. L'équipe.

Hervé Thiriez Julien Villemonteix Alexandre Mordacq. Trust in the sharing economy: who will succeed, and how? As the collaborative consumption space begins to scale and the hype around many business models continues, trust between strangers remains a hot topic. After watching this space closely for one year now, Francesca Pick reflects on the state of the online trust landscape. As Techcrunch reports, Facebook just announced it was hiring the co-founders of Legit, a startup that has been developing an online trust and reputation framework for the sharing economy. Seeing that trust is crucial to the success of p2p marketplaces, Legit and several other startups aimed to build a “credit system for the 21st century” that ties together peer-to-peer marketplaces and fosters trust between users.
“Facebook is a core piece of infrastructure for many marketplaces as the source of your offline authenticity and reliability” Finding the right approach to building trust I remember talking to Legit’s founder Barton for my thesis research one year ago.

[Monétisation] Comment gagner de l'argent sur internet? Difficile de percevoir quel est le business model d’un site web ou d’une application mobile, surtout quand l’utilisation est gratuite. Tous les services web ne sont pas rentables, car ils nécessitent souvent de gros volumes, mais il existe de nombreuses manières de gagner de l’argent grâce à internet. La publicité C’est aujourd’hui le modèle de revenu le plus commun, celui auquel tout le monde pense: insertion de bannières publicitaires ou encore contenus sponsorisés, sont les principaux outils de monétisation d’un site ou d’une application. La monétisation étant bâtie sur des volumes de trafic important, la difficulté devient alors de faire en sorte que les frais techniques engagés pour le site, ne soient pas supérieurs aux revenus publicitaires.

I’m as guilty of saying it as anyone else--mantras like “the best interface is no interface at all”--that attempt to explain why I find Microsoft’s recently proposed vision of the future so abhorrent. But Timo Arnall, creative director at Berg (makers of brilliant, tangible electronics like Little Printer and these Google concepts), wants to correct our poor design vocabulary.
In a pretty fantastic open letter, he argues that while we all want to escape the screen, “invisible” and “seamless” design aren’t the end game. Here’s one of my favorite bits: Invisible design propagates the myth that technology will ‘disappear’ or ‘just get out of the way’ rather than addressing the qualities of interface technologies that can make them difficult or delightful.
The problem, no doubt, is that most of us have begun to equate “user interface” with “graphical user interface.” Read more here. (There’s a lot more nuance to his argument, so definitely check it out.) How to Publish to Different CMS from One Editorial Calendar | Editorial Calendar. In yesterday’s post we talked about managing multiple editorial calendars, the challenges presented and provided some tips to make the process more efficient.
Today we are going to be talking about the advantages to be gained from having an editorial calendar which allows you to publish directly to your content management system. When using an editorial calendar most people have it open in a separate application, window or tab. They then have to cycle between using it for their planning and for checking which tasks are coming up next, and then move into their CMS to get down to the business of writing, editing, adding images and links, and publishing the material. You can avoid all of this to-and-fro by using an editorial calendar which allows you to publish directly to your CMS. When you are planning your content items you can outline the key parameters for each item, which assist in the content creation process.
From An Apple Alum, An App That Makes Design Presentations A Cinch | Co.Design: business + innovation + design#1. Context, a new app created by a designer for designers, is poised to make it vastly easier and faster to realize and present visual concepts. With abbreviated deadlines and budgets becoming industry norms, the app could be a godsend, allowing designers to mock up various iterations of their ideas in record speed. In its current desktop application for Mac, Context profoundly expedites artwork surface application while delivering photographic results.
In seconds, designers can generate and view their work in real-looking, real-world contexts--e.g., test the brand’s name in a couple of fresh typefaces and colors in various locations on a flyposter, a wine label, or a hanger tag. That means no photographing or trolling for flat images to Photoshop, no switching between programs and windows, and fewer physical models. The designer can guess and prototype less while imagining and experimenting more.

Bilan workshop n°14 : le design émotionnel par Jacinthe Busson. Retour sur le Workshop du 30 janvier dernier qui s’est tenu dans les locaux de l’école IESA multimédia. Au menu de cette session : le design émotionnel dans notre quotidien. Et pour animer ce thème, Jacinthe Busson, co-fondatrice de la start-up Kontestapp.com et auteur du blog Ergophile.com. Vous n’étiez pas à ce workshop ? Découvrez sans plus attendre la synthèse réalisée par Jacinthe Busson ! Lors de ce workshop, nous avons abordé les origines du design dans différents domaines comme par exemple le design d’objet, l’architecture, le graphisme, l’ergonomie et même le champ lexical utilisé dans des interfaces web et mobile.
Il faut savoir que le design émotionnel n’est pas quelque chose de nouveau dans notre quotidien mais le terme a surtout été démocratisé par Aaron Walter grâce à son livre « Design Emotionnel » de la collection Book Apart. Afin d’expliquer simplement le principe du design émotionnel, prenons 2 exemples qui vous parleront sûrement : L’usage des smileys Autre exemple… The concept of a “collaborative economy” is broad... | Bringr - écoute et analyse temps réel des réseaux sociaux.

Entre les applications, le journal/timeline, la photo de couverture, le graph search, la localisation, les messages privés et les publicités ; les mises à jours officielles de Facebook s’enchainent et ne se ressemblent pas, à un détail près : toutes concernent l’accès à nos données personnelles. Evidemment, lors de toute mise à jour, le réseau social réadapte sa charte de confidentialité en conséquence, limitant ainsi toute réclamation des utilisateurs quant à la diffusion des données fournies par nos soins lors des inscriptions, publications, identifications et autres. Sauf qu’en 2007, apparaissait une problématique majeure qui ne cesse de hanter les utilisateurs: Facebook s’ouvre aux applications diverses ce qui augmente la notoriété du réseau social, et décuple en parallèle l’accès aux données personnelles.
L’exemple le plus signifiant est l’application Take This Lollipop qui en 2011 a fait couler une certaine quantité d’encre numérique. App Advisor Et les applications dans tout ça ? Business Models on the Web | Professor Michael Rappa. Business models are perhaps the most discussed and least understood aspect of the web. There is so much talk about how the web changes traditional business models.
But there is little clear-cut evidence of exactly what this means. In the most basic sense, a business model is the method of doing business by which a company can sustain itself -- that is, generate revenue. The business model spells-out how a company makes money by specifying where it is positioned in the value chain. Some models are quite simple. A company produces a good or service and sells it to customers.
If all goes well, the revenues from sales exceed the cost of operation and the company realizes a profit. Internet commerce will give rise to new kinds of business models. Business models have been defined and categorized in many different ways. The basic categories of business models discussed in the table below include: The models are implemented in a variety of ways, as described below with examples.

Everyone can learn to be more creative, but to become very creative, I’ve come to believe you need to lead a creative life.
In watching my best students, in examining the lives of successful entrepreneurs, and in seeing the process of the great Native American artists who I know, it is clear that how they live their daily lives is crucial to their success. I realize that it sounds very “zen-y” (which is OK by me), yet I come to this realization not through a search for spirituality or clarity but from simple observation. Creativity is in such demand today that when we apply for jobs, when we join organizations, or when we just meet other people, we are asked to present our creative selves. But we can’t do that unless we understand the nature of our own creativity, locate the sources of our originality, and have a language that explains our work. If you are one of the growing number of “creatives,” or want to become one, you need to lead a creative life. 1. Be mindful—disconnect 2. 3. The 12 Trends That Will Rule Products In 2013.
Near the end of 2012, a group of us at Ziba got together to review what we’d learned over the course of the year. Working with dozens of clients who serve customers around the world, we designers spend a lot of time observing people as they interact with technology, services, and experiences, noticing how they seek solutions to everyday problems and make decisions. In the process, certain patterns emerge so forcefully that they’re practically unavoidable.
Meeting over three sessions spread out over a week, 23 Zibites (designers, researchers, and creative directors) discussed the patterns we’d seen, and distilled them down to the 12 insights we thought were most current and useful, to us and to our clients. Each one is presented here, as a brief essay that suggests how it will affect business practices in 2013, and as an illustration created by one of Ziba’s designers. 1.

Eleven men and women file into a conference room and take their places around a large table. Coffee cups and pastries are assembled in front of them. George, the leader, steps up to a large whiteboard and scrawls across the top “SOAP STORM SESSION 9/18/12.” “Okay, let’s begin,” he tells the group.
“Let’s just start free-associating. What do we think of when we think clean laundry?” He asks. “To get the ball rolling, I’ll write a few words down,” he says and dashes off chore, piles, whites and brights, and fresh on the board. The meeting continues for about an hour, with more words and thoughts added. This scenario takes place every day in office suites around the world. The conventional wisdom that innovation can be institutionalized or done in a formal group is simply wrong. You can see this clearly from the responses to “clean laundry” in my example. As I said earlier, the team should have been given the day off to do laundry. This was a mega consumer insight. TimeRabbit Measures How Long You're on Facebook.
