This is my first polaroid collage:
Title: Need to fly
This polaroid was completly black.
I have done a collage.
This post is a translation of an italian post I wrote and that is published here.
Home. Dinner time. I am reading a post about Weblin on the blog 980Km.
It sounds very interesting and I decide to download it.
I am pleasantly surprised by it. With Weblin I “become very little” and every time I visit a site I find myself face to face in front of other users. I can’t believe it!
I am on Repubblica.it site and I feel like in a bar, chatting with people about the world, commenting on the last news.
I begin to think about Weblin used on e-commerce sites. So I go quickly to Amazon.com and I feel like into a shop with many other customers. I start looking for a shop assistant.
I am so happy that I want to share it with someone, so I go on YouTube Italia and I find Il_Vale.
[20:52] lara: She has entered the chatroom
[20:53] lara: Can I ask you something?
[20:53] lara: for how long have you been using Weblin?
[20:54] Il_Vale: about 15 days
[20:54] mrbell: a few days
[20:55] Il_Vale: it’s cool
[20:55] Il_Vale: it’s a good idea
[20:55] lara: for what?
[20:56] lara: how old are you?
[20:56] Il_Vale: I use it to share my opinions with people I meet on websites that I usually visit.
[20:56] mrbell: I am 25 year old
[20:56] Il_Vale: I am 28 this saturday
[20:57] lara: I am 27
[20:57] Il_Vale: do you realise what we are doing?
[20:57] Il_Vale: we are chatting on a website
Il_Vale has been using it for 15 days. In his opinion it is not widespread. We all agree. We talk about weblin and I explain him what I am thinking.
[21:04] lara: I was thinking that…
[21:04] Il_Vale: I think it is the right direction for the evolution of the web
[21:04] lara: I have an ecommerce website, a bookshop and…
[21:04] Il_Vale: at the end the only web’s limit was that you cannot talk about goods to purchase such as a book or anything else in real time
[21:04] lara: I can login to weblin and stay on my e-shop waiting for weblin-customers
[21:05] lara: as in the shop, do you undestand?
[21:05] lara: you come to my bookshop and there is a shop assistant
[21:05] Il_Vale: smart!
[21:05] Il_Vale: don’t you think that you can already make money out of it
[21:05] lara: I know, but I think visitors must be cared for
[21:05] lara: would you like it?
[21:06] Il_Vale: I think that you have your first customer
[21:06] Il_Vale: can you find me two books written by Stevenson?
I pretend to be a shop assistant
[21:06] lara: Should I put them in the basket or should I give you just the weblink?
[21:06] Il_Vale: Give me the link, please
[21:07] Il_Vale: I am searching for them, but I haven’t found them yet
[21:07] Il_Vale: I was thinking to buy them online, but, if you could …
[21:07] Il_Vale: do you accept cheques?
Only now I understand that Il_Vale believes that I work in e-commerce
[21:07] lara: Oi
[21:07] lara: I was joking, I do not have a bookshop… It was just an example
[21:07] Il_Vale: aaahhh
[21:08] lara: anyway since we are here, I will try to find them!
[21:08] Il_Vale: sorry, I thought you had a bookshop
[21:08] Il_Vale: hold on!
[21:08] lara: no no
[21:08] lara: Tell me the titles and I will try to find them online
I give him the link to bol.it and we meet there with our little avatars. I am smiling. It is almost like having walked there together.
At the end, we spend 15 minutes chatting.
Il_Vale has a blog and he works with babies.
I thank him and ask if I could use the chat for my blog.
In only two hours I have found a customer without having an ecommerce website (if only I had a bookshop, damn!).
Weblin is a really great opportunity. It can make “real” all the ecommerce and it represents a great chance of interaction with customers.
Will we need call-to-action pages if NOW we can have a shop assistant on the website who can welcome customers and help them?
Will we have to keep thinking hard in order to find a good landing page?

“God of War II is the sequel to the popular God of War video game.
The gameplay of God of War II is very similar to that of its predecessor. The player controls Kratos in a combination of combat, platforming, and puzzle game elements.”
From Wikipedia
I have interviewed Marco (“Black Agony ” in XBOX LIVE!) who has realized 999.999 hits combo on videogame “God Of War 2″
Check out the video!
How have you done 999.999 hits? Is there a secret?
When you complete the game, the “Titan Rank”, you can have access to another challenge called “Challenge of Titans”. If you get it, you can create an arena with monsters you can choose. You can choose to have special powers like “Infinity Power” too… then, once you have completed ”Challenge of Titans”, everyone can do 999.999 hits combo. You just have a little bit of patience.
What is a “Combo”?
The Combo is a fight, it is fighting more than one time the enemy sequentially. I hurt you with my hands for two times consecutively then I have done two hits combo.
If I hurt with my hands for two times and with my legs for three times I have done five hits combo!
Are you satisfied of your 999.999 hits?
Not at all. Being 3 hours and half to push the same buttom while I was watching at the window or talking at the phone or watching the tv, is not satisfing. It was just a curiosity to see what it happens after one million hits. I have had more satisfaction when I get the Titan Rank!
What’s happened after 999.999 hits?
Absolutely nothing. 
On English Version, after that, there is a website link where you can find a lot of videos about “Make of the videogame”.
On Italian Version there isn’t it but you can find the link inside my video. Take a look.
Do you think you will buy God Of War 3?
The next version can be played only with Playstaion 3 so I had to buy this new console… I’m not sure… If I have money… 
Thanks to BlackAgony and Astrafel80 for the video.
If you have not completed God Of War 2, take a look at these faq.
For any other questions to Black Agony, please leave a comment.
This is my last hand-manipulated polaroid production:
Title: Special Paper #1
After taking photo I have put polaroid on the table and with a pen cap I have pulled it around the borders and write (with pen cap) on the photo before the image develops.

Sunday, 2nd September 2007
It’s early morning when I take the train and the ferry boat as called as “vaporetto” to be in Venice Lido as soon as possible.
It’s sunny. It’s hot.
At 1 pm I arrive in front of Biennale for the 64° Venice Film Festival.
A lot of Rihanna-girls are waiting for Brad Pitt under their umbrellas.
It’s sunny. It’s very hot.
I don’t understand why they are waiting an actor under the sun for hours and hours, but it’s not my problem.
So, go on. I want to give you an advice about movies to see.
If you want to see a movie, it’s probably that the tickets are sold out.
A lot of people was very angry with the organisation because some film projections was deleted (expecially Woody Allen’s movie) and because there are not much tickets available for the daily film projections.
So, if you are a tourist who arrives and leaves in the day, it’s probably you can’t see a movie. Be calm and console yourself taking a bath to the sea or taking a look at the shops or waiting Angelina Jolie!
About me, I have been lucky because I have found tickets to see “Hotel Meina” a movie (out of competition) about the first mass murderer of Jews in Italy.
