Just like there’s no NBC community. Or Google community. There’s users and subscribers and viewers. There may be communities WITHIN those entities, but not with the outlet as a whole." He's right. There's no "NBC Community," there's a "Heroes" community, and a "How I Met Your Mother" community, and a "Simpsons" community. I'm still trying to quantify what it actually means, but I thought the statement itself was fascinating. Oh, and one last thing..... J'espere que je me souviens parler en Francais........ Olivier–

He’s right. There’s no “NBC Community,” there’s a “Heroes” community, and a “How I Met Your Mother” community, and a “Simpsons” community.

I’m still trying to quantify what it actually means, but I thought the statement itself was fascinating.

Oh, and one last thing…..

J’espere que je me souviens parler en Francais……..

Valérie's suitcase will be famous soon :) The comparison with the garagist is spot on. About one of you other points, I really like the starbuck design. A Belgian franchise called "le pain quotidien" dared to implement a concept close to the modular kitchen with a lot of success. Cheers Hi Olivier,

Thanks for the link. Valérie’s suitcase will be famous soon :)

The comparison with the garagist is spot on.

About one of you other points, I really like the starbuck design. A Belgian franchise called “le pain quotidien” dared to implement a concept close to the modular kitchen with a lot of success.

Cheers
