The French Invade Xobni
(This happened almost a month ago, but I haven't had time to write about it)
Matt mentioned that there would be "some French bloggers" visiting "later tonight". That sounded pretty innocent, but I had no idea that there would be so many of them.

Xobni still lacks the advanced conference room facilities of larger companies, but we do have a big-ass plasma screen and some leather couches. Thus, we packed our visitors into our "living room" and gave them the Xobni demo, followed by an hour-long Q&A session and some beers at the pub.

It turns out these guys were French entrepreneurs and bloggers on a week-long study trip to Silicon Valley. Jeremy Fain had organized for them to visit places such as Stanford, the San Francisco City Council, Microsoft, Google, eBay, Twitter and Xobni, all packed into a tight schedule.

I only wish this kind of trip had existed when I was back in Zurich - or that I would've had the idea to organize one.
