Blog
It all started back in 2006 as a blog post. The Frenchman, who was on the job, and have a passion for new technologies, and the industry behind it, started strongly in the head, “on the road”. “At that time, it was still possible to make a living out of blogs. For that, I was done with my job and travelled the whole day is written about, and what I love. What’s that.”
But after a while it’s much more difficult to make a lot of money to be earned, and so did the guy stop and think. “It occurred to me that there are a lot more people to check out my blog came up when I extracted it with something that is nowhere else, except in some Chinese forum, which was to be found.

Behind the tweet is that the OnePlus, the Google Pixel and the iPhone leak, there is a URL to a site that I can video or image save. If these are shared and taken on all sorts of sites, the sites that I work with, their internet traffic is exploding. I get my fair share.”
