This weekend T#M follows the conversations about the cyclocross in Overijse

T#M is a product that I have developed with my best friend François Vermaut.

We are building a system that follows conversations on the web and on
Twitter in particular. This weekend, in partnership with Patricia of
"'t Koffiehuis aan de Ijse", we will follow the conversations about
the cyclocross in Overijse.

You can follow the conversations here http://thm.cc/t/overijse

With this case we experiment how social media like Twitter can help
you develop your small business and bring you new customers.

Amazon avoids EU problems with its pricing model

European Commission Opens Antitrust Investigation Over Ebook Pricing
Against Apple, Five Publishers see
http://www.writerswrite.com/blog/120620111

Amazon has no problem because they let you the author or the publisher
set the price of the ebook, so they can't be blamed if the price is
wrong.

But have you ever tried to fix a final ebook price on Amazon ? I did.
With the standard (KDP) Kindle platform, it's a difficult exercise. I
wouln't guarantee you an exact value, I can't really figure out the
final Amazon price of my own ebooks...
