Meet Gabriel Hubert from Teleportd – the kickass photo search app Scoble calls “mindblowing”

Working for LeWeb, I realize I haven’t had a second to dedicate to my blog.. BUT I have been able to meet a number of amazing entrepreneurs that I want everyone and their brother to know (maybe their sister).

For LeWeb ’11 (if you haven’t heard of it, I find it hard to believe that you follow me on Twitter ;D), Silicon Valley Bank and Lepe Partners invited a few entrepreneurs to network and get the most out of the event. One of the funniest? Gabriel Hubert who submitted this video to get a ticket:

I had coffee with him yesterday and found out more about what his company, Teleportd, ACTUALLY does!

If you love to travel and always dreamed of teleporting (who hasn’t, really) – -this app is for you.

In a nutshell, it’s the “mind-blowing” photo app (dixit Robert Scoble) that pulls together public, geo-localized photos regardless of what photo app you used. Say, for example, you’re addicted to Instagram like it’s sugar-coated crack. That’s fine. But now you can see all of the photos people are taking around the White House whether they’re also addicted or whether they prefer Foursquare, Lockerz, or any of the other 13 services they pull photos in from in real time.

Agencies, media, and brands can all find something interesting here…

Check it out:

Gabriel is on Twitter as well as his co-founder, Stan.

Give Teleportd a try  – – it’s on the App Store – -and TODAY they will be pulling in photos from Loopcam, an app that let’s you create your own GIFs. Yes. GIFs!!!!!!! It’s…addicting to say the least

Only in NYC (& Day 1 at the #140Conf ;) )

This week has been great visiting New York City.

DAY 1 AT THE #140CONF

Unfortunately, I missed the morning of the #140Conf and some apparent “French-bashing”, but the afternoon was really great! I’m speaking this morning at 9:50 and you can catch the live stream here :

One of my faaavorite was Monte Farber, a psychic that particularly answers questions about stock questions on Twitter in less than 140 characters. As the official #140Conf psychic, he also declared that :

Facebook will last longer than Google.

For some reason I’m intrigued by this video. I didn’t say I like it. I said I am intrigued.

Wednesday dance break – the TWINS

For those of you that don’t know them, I’m sorry for you. And for those of you that do, I hope you’re already standing up and ready to break it down with the magical dance duo that will make you WIIIIISH you had hips that could move so good all while drinking a vanilla smoothie.

The Twins are what you get when you cross dance and awesome and split it in two

Here they take on Lil’O & Tyger B from the U.S. (the Twins are from France – yeeaaah — although actually they have been in the U.S. They were on Ellen.)

Music of the day : Lala Joy

Videos will be back in February, but in the meantime a French singer taking on an American song by Bruno Mars. Personally, I’m just wondering how long til she’s taking on Katy Perry.
