Leaving Yahoo!
30,octobre 2008
In a few days, it will be my last day at Yahoo! (just like certain predecesors blogging about it before: Chad Dickerson;Â Ian Kennedy)Â after what has been an intense and fun trip into the purple DNA world for almost 3 years.
Â
Â
I am happy to have had under my belt,
some key events and accomplishments that marked and made me as much
as marked the brand - locally speaking, of course. Â Just
to name a few:
1) the 24 hours of Flickr in
Montreal (People suddenly realized there was a local Flickr
presence here under the Olympic Stadium….). That activity was
part of the *delighting our communities* motto at Yahoo!
2) I was happy to launch the first ever Yahoo! Québec t-shirt, a
Good life apparel creation,  a
local artist who does the yearly James Brown Tees… There is a
limited edition of 250 Ts… Those who were lucky enough to put
a hold on them, well, just keep them preciously.
3) I was more than glad to participate in the Rebranding of Yahoo! Québec (which
previously had another name.) and to be part of the team with
Ogilvy Montreal to launch
the first Yahoo! Québec offline marketing campaign
that is currently running in the subway, buses and highways.
4) With a super dream team, I was excited to launch the most recent versions of Yahoo! Québec Messenger in french from 5.9 to 8.0,  and webmessenger and all these communication products (mail, avatars, profiles, etc.) and the community products.
5) I was happy to have resurrected the good’ ol’ Mon Yahoo! Québec, the rss feed aggregator.
6) Initiated the Flickr Contat08 Festival relationship and group about Photography.
7) above all, I was really blessed by a more than amazing local community of techies, lovers, bloggers, challengers, mentors, startups, brainiacs, etc.  From Patrick Tanguay, Michelle Blanc, Heri, Philippe Martin, Olie Ze Kat, just to name a few (this is a non-exhaustive list, I could go on with a list of a hundred names…).
In a few weeks, i am
starting at Deloitte Canada, heading up the online Marketing
Department and teams in Montreal and Toronto.
And a 30 seconds Introduction to Deloitte video, with a lil’ extra spice:
See you all very soon!

This is an achievement for me to have the priviledge to win the Q2-2008 European Awards amongst all my Yahoo! European and Canadia colleagues. Â And I congratulate all the teams that were able to qualify and receive mentions.

What is Innovation in Web 2.0 for Six Apart? Stéphane Delbecque answers that question
12,octobre 2008
The Montreal Marketing Association First Conference that took place on October 8, 2008 on Innovation in Web 2.0 showcased four speakers prolific in their respective area of specialization. Hugh McGuire from Librivox broke the ice and presented the audio books community, then Stéphane Delbecque from Six Apart spoke about mobile and blogging technologies, Robyn Tippins from the Yahoo! Developer Network spoke about the application ecosystem and the openness around Yahoo! and the broad reach of the developer Network. Austin Hill  presented his innovative new reality-based startup Akoha.
Attendees feedback seem to all go in the same direction: ”That conference really was interesting, with diverse content and perspectives”. Whether the type of innovation that was forcasted was useful to certain attendees or not, all depends on the business they are in. Some attendees come from a more traditional enterprise background and some from 2.0 firms.
Â
Stéphane Delbecque gracefully presented the type of Innovation that is put forward at Six Apart: ”Openness and Mobility”.
In his own words:
Web 2.0 is a deep change in the way internet users interact with each others, services, content and media. For the first time, people have the ability to express themselves and get their voice heard. This revolution resulted in acceleration in innovation, gave tools to anyone who’d want to build something and opened new opportunities for companies that would embrace it. For two guys and a dog in a garage, as well as companies such as Six Apart, innovation in Web 2.0 enlightened a strong need for openness (i.e. with OpenID and APIs) and took the form of a new vehicle, the mobile phone, which is the perfect tool for creating, consulting and sharing with friends, family and online services.

Article du Clin d’oeil: La vie 2.0 selon Katheline Jean-Pierre
5,septembre 2008
J’ai eu l’immense plaisir d’être interviewée par Pascal Forget (La revanche des Nerdz, etc) pour le magazine Clin d’oeil. J’ai pu lui expliquer Ma vie en 2.0 ,qui est,  en quelque sorte, un petit guide de survie à travers les outils 2.0 pour une jeune femme active en manque de temps et très en demande entre le boulot dans le Web, le bénévolat dans le Web et le sans-fil, les événements sociaux, le sport, les amis et la famille. Voici donc quelques citations de cet article publié sur Canoe.com. Bien sûr, je n’ai pas fait mon hypergeek et nommé des outils trop obscurs du Web (le côté obscur du Web invisible)…
Â
Voici donc l’article intégral.
