Great post Laurent and great meeting you at LeWeb this year! Really looking forward to seeing Silentale grow.

The global thing is particularly interesting, seems like a lot of French start ups focus on the French market – so glad to see a European startup focusing on scale and international.

totally agree on quality as well as quantity: in addition to the user interface, additional functionality like filtering, portability, personalisation etc are also key. and definitely agree that quantity should be focused on most popular/used networks.

thanks farhan, and i’ll keep reading your blog (http://www.fiftybyfifty.com/lifeoffarhan/) to hopefully improve my writing style!

Nice post Shannon.

I’d hasten to add that the simplicity of the interface, UI/UX is key to making it work – maybe even more than the number of feeds.

Also, I think you can focus on the number of networks rather then on the networks themselves. If almost everyone’s using 10/25 different platforms does it make a difference if you’ve got 24/25 and the competitions got 23/25 when they’ve got the top 10 and you’ve got 9 out of the top ten?

Looking forward to your future blog posts!

Having used Silentale ( as a lifelogging service) for a week now, I understand the name completely.

Prior to using Silentale as a lifelogger, I must admit, I didn’t fully understand the choice of the word “Silentale” to represent the service. If the service was called “lifelogging,” “lifelogger” or better yet “myLifeLogger,” I would have understood it instantly.

Silentale’s ability to pull in all of my streams of communication and organize those streams per contact is amazing. And after I set up my initial connections, I didn’t have to do anything more to make it work. So, yes, I understand the word “silent” now as it pertains to the service. Silentale simply works in the background.

One look at how Silentale presents a lifelog and I think everyone will understood the use of the word, “tale.” Aggregating all of these channels of communication tells a story, a silent story, about the digital interactions over time between two people.

It is really amazing and it works without me having to do anything more than I did when I opened my account (very easy).

But if you were taking suggestions for more names, I would offer “mySilentale.” It’s personal. And that’s why I like it!
