The devastating earthquake that hit China more than 3 weeks ago is still part of daily life and recent collective memory in China, and it has caused a huge wave of solidarity. If you happened to read some Chinese websites during the 3 days of national mourning, you might have been surprised by the black and white background - a way of the Chinese web to remember the dead, to think of the missing and to bless the country.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the planet, at the Cannes Film Festival the famous Holywood actress Sharon Stone just expressed her opinion about this disaster in a way that makes you think her heart is made of granite.

Personally I can not figure out how a lady who supposedly passed her IQ test at 154 points (!) can make such an uninformed, illogical and utterly embarrassing statement. But I guess she is already experiencing the “bad karma” herself now…

Hello guys, here we are!! Today is the official release date of Indiana Jones 4: the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

But as you may know, at BuzzParadise we always have our “entries” to special VIP events and previews. Hence, although I myself wasn’t able to go some of my friends were amongst the happy few who saw the world premiere of the movie last Sunday, during the Cannes film festival. Don’t worry, I will NOT tell you anything about the fourth adventure of our whip-wielding hero. You’ll have to find out by going to the cinema yourself.

What I want to highlight today is a new way of communicating with people around the world, introducing the great micro-blogging video platform: Seesmic.

Seesmic could be described as a twitter application, using videos instead of the 140 characters. If you don’t know what Twitter is, well … it’s a shame! Maybe I will tell you more about this fantastic application soon.

Where is the point? Well, you’ll see by scouting the web’s wilds that the founder of Seesmic, our friend Loïc Le Meur, has always been good at catching celebrities. But this week, he was at his best: he managed to make the entire Indiana Jones crew show up at Seesmic! Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg and even George Lucas accepted to answer a few questions.

Seesmic still is a private beta-version, but I’m sure it will be a huge success in the near future. The Cannes film festival ends in two days, maybe then we’ll have the pleasure to see other celebrities on Seesmic!
