How’s your French?
If it’s decent, then take a look at this article about Twitter in today’s Infopresse, the French Quebec equivalent of Ad Age: “Tout le monde Twit” (”Everyone’s Twittering”).
L’attrait de Twitter est si grand que certains blogueurs semblent délaisser temporairement le bon vieux blogue. C’est le cas de Bryan Person, de Boston, qui écrit que son utilisation de Twitter gruge le temps qu’il dévouait autrefois à son site. Il affirme qu’il devra désormais trouver un équilibre adéquat entre le tempo rapide de Twitter et la réflexion plus sérieuse de son blogue.
The reference above is to my blog post from last week about my new Twittering habits, as part of a story about Twitter’s exploding popularity.
Fellow business podcasters Mitch Joel and Neville Hobson are also mentioned in the story.

23|Mar|2007 1Hey Bryan,
Congrats on the mention. Do you know what they’ve written about you? Need some help, let me know. I have the gist of it and I work with two women who are fluent in English and French.
Just for fun, I threw it in to Google Translate. Here’s what I got:
“The attraction of Twitter is so large that certain blogueurs seem to forsake the good old man blogist temporarily. It is the case of Bryan Person, of Boston, which writes that its use of Twitter notches time that it devoted formerly to his site. It affirms that it will have from now on to find a balance adequate between the fast tempo of Twitter and the more serious reflexion of its blogist.”
Trust me, this is not a literal translation but interesting nonetheless.
Cheers,
Eden
Bryan

Fortunately, I can read a bit of French - I took it for a year at university, and I already speak Spanish and Portuguese, which helps me with grammatical structure and vocabulary.
Merci beaucoup!
