2005 - 2005In 2005 I issued a blog (JNSM) relating my one year experience on a dating site (Meetic). The blog was a huge succes, with 500 000 visitors and over 2,5 million page views in 5 months.
It had quite a big media coverage, and I was contacted by several editors to publish a book about the experience. I wrote the final manuscript in 5 months, and the book was published in october 2005 (Robert Laffont). It was adapted as a radio serie for a Swiss radio, and I wrote 50 2mn episodes, and did the voice. I continue this wrting activity, and am working on other projects.
