London, july the 20th, 11.30 AM. After a typical english rainy morning, under a very small umbrella, i’m in the middle of the fanciest meeting i could have ever expected.

English, french and italians are the european core of IntrudersTV, the coolest team of videobloggers ever appeared on the 2.0 scene.

Their meeting starts talking about the modern tabu, in a 2.0 startup: money. Nobody of them is interested in a zero-payed activity and they are not going to create an amateur project. They are professionals and they want to let it know to their investors.

They have an international platform but every localized section is a self standing entity. Every author can decide the line of his videoblog as he likes and some of the rumors whispered during the meeding were really earthshaking.

The italian version of Intruders TV will be held by Livia Iacolare, formerly author for masternewmedia.org and still editor for mashable.

With BlogNation, edited by Amanda in the Italian version, this project is going to be the most interesting network in the near future.

Yesterday night i was watching to Tommaso Tessarolo’s NetTV and the main topic was about women and Internet. I loved it very much and i was vary happy to ask Livia Iacolare, a very professional writer on the net, a question about one of the most important book about girl blogging: Networks Tradeoff: the future of the internet.

I hope this attention to the girl power on the web will keep its strenght.

Sir Tim Berners Lee said:

Net neutrality is this:
If I pay to connect to the Net with a certain quality of service, and you pay to connect with that or greater quality of service, then we can communicate at that level.

I cannot be more agree with him.

One of the weirdest think about italian food around the world is “Spagnetti Bolognese”.
Bolognese is a typical sauce with tomato, carrots, onion and meat, Spaghetti is a kind of pasta.
Spaghetti and Bolognese sauce (called “ragù”) are quite never in the same dish.
We prepare spaghetti with fresh tomato. Ragù usually goes with tagliatelle, another kind of pasta.

Another terrible mistake is to have cappuccino after a meal. Typical italians are unable to drink cappuccino after 11AM. Cappuccino is for breakfast only and goes with croissant that we call “pasta” or “cornetto”.
If you order cappuccino after lunch, some italians can be very offendend, but nowadays they are quite used.

I know that “pasta” as croissant is the same that “pasta” as… pasta, but this is another story…
