When I heard that Arjen was working on a new version of the Fleck logo I couldn’t help but worry. I like the old logo a lot and wasn’t ready to say goodbye to it. But this morning Arjen showed me what he did and I was just very happy!
He took the old logo and upgraded it with just a very subtle shade of grey in the white area. This is a very nice improvement and it just shows that to improve things you don’t necessarily have to throw out all the old stuff.
The new logo is also less pink and more red. This gives it a slightly more serious feel.
Patrick came up with a brilliant way to demonstrate the new version of Fleck. He uses his iPhone and a bunch of images he imported with iTunes and then flips through the presentation while occasionally ‘pinching’ in or out.
The resolution and brightness of the iPhone makes it a great presentation device. It is also a lot sexier and more convenient than lugging around a laptop with Powerpoint.
Last week Patrick and Arjen roamed the halls at FOWA in London and everybody who was interested got their personal iPhone Fleck 2.0 demo. In the photo you can see Scott Rafer enjoying the presentation.
So what do YOU think his words were the exact moment the photo was made?
a: “Aha, so THAT is why I should buy an iPhone!”
b: “Oh shit, I think I left something on the stove!”
c: “Wow, Fleck is just the coolest thing EVER!”
d: “I’m going to shave my beard off and glue it to my forehead”
Last week we got a lot of attention from a Dutch newspaper. They interviewed me (Boris) about the difference between doing business in Holland VS Silicon Valley. They illustrated the article with a lot of photos from the guys in white suits.
Fleck user Kerim Satirli just emailed me this photo he made at the European Bloggers Conference at PICNIC’07 in Amsterdam. It is the Fleck Man! Thanks Kerim…
Today we were at Twitter HQ and talked to Biz Stone and Jack Dorsey from Twitter. They have a great office (I’m actually blogging out of one of their very comfortable chairs right now).
We showed them the new version of Fleck and had a good chat about Twitter, Fleck and the web. I also did a short interview with Biz with my new camera (thanks to mindz.com). i’ll put that up once a have a cable that can connect my video cam to my computer.

While Boris and I are in San francisco, Arjen met up with Ryan Carson of FOWA. FOWA is the London equivalent of The Next Web conference and is known as a great conference.
Check out the video Ryan made of his stop in Amsterdam during his roadtrip.
