As TerraGiga launch has been especially “loud” these links are only a small part of the buzz and the following google searches will give a bigger picture

Also especially noticeable, Terra has asked the users to interact with the evolution of the service by providing them with a forum to tell us whatever they think of TerraGiga. The url for the forum is:

“We strongly believe that BigBrother time has come: our life is fully digital now and everything needs to be aggregate and stored.”, explained Christophe Camborde, CEO of Steek,”Everyday, you take the metro and your metro trip is logged. You take your car and your GPS logs your travel, you use itunes and itunes records your MP3 playlist, you send or receive SMS and so on.”
Steek BigSister will be connected to the major digital information providers like transportation or metro system, ISP, Mobile operators, insurance systems, banks, etc…

“We think we can compete with Google! Google already store and gather all these informations, we, Steek, can provide a better organized and explicit system for the well being of everybody.” also added Chrstophe Camborde.

System will be first deployed in France and then Europe. Autorisation by the CNIL (independent French administrative authority whose mission is to ensure that data privacy law is applied to the collection, storage, and use of personal data) is currently under consideration. Steek also has opened a complaint to the European Commission in order to stop data removal. “Data removal is a major loss for everybody”, added Christophe Camborde “this is our life, may be even more important that our real life, we cannot accept that digital stuffs are deleted. Especially as we are ready to store everything!“.

Soon to come, an IPO will cover the financing of this major storage operation on the Paris Stock Exchange, HKSE in summer 2009 for a value exceding €500M.

Seems that we are already entering into the adult age as Steek is now worldwide leader for whitelabel consumer storage!

Steek team wishes you a Happy New Year!

- Putting a face on some of the customer names.

- Meet interesting people: prospects, potential customers, internet “rock stars”, the press; the possibilities are quite exciting.

- Learn more about the “confreres”. We love our confreres, especially when we outshine them

- The conferences themselves are great, of course. This year’s program was again very good.

However, what makes LeWeb priceless is the demos and live feedback on our products. As a product manager at Steek, I spend way too much time designing, specifying and overviewing the development of our products. After a couple of years, one gets used to the features and takes their benefits for granted. Sure, there’s the occasional reality check with user tests and customer meetings, but nothing is worth the two day marathon of concentrated interaction, with answers straight from the horse’s mouth.

This was it was awesome: our product lineup kicks ass. Every demo was a success, despite the wifi issues at the venue. People are all over Steek Backup (fka SteekUP), Steek Share (fka SteekR) and the upcoming Steek Workgroup. The feedback was beyond positive, enthusiastic is the right word.

The world loves Steek. Stay tuned for some exciting news.
