Web 2.0 News: Reddit Goes Open Source, Twitturly, TwitLinks
freelinereport.com Twitturly, or Twitt(url)y, is a new website that scans Twitter and looks for links people are talking about the most. It then assembles them onto its home page – making this into a really great news source. Twitt(url)y has got the same community appeal as Digg, but without the need to actually go out and vote on something. Instead, just Twittering about a subject and giving the URL is considered a vote, and the more links, the more it rises.

Provins’ Flavour, Vantacey’s Classics
“I pay my respects to every citizen in Provins for their heavy responsibility to guard this city which brought great pride to France. I believe that the strong passion in their heart will prompt them to treasure this city, and share the success of cherishing this heritage with all the visitors.”
Jacques Chirac
It is quiet and elegant as other small towns with warm sunshine and gentle breeze. It has the most simple, unspoiled, kind-hearted people. It is the the birthplace of Vantacey bags and the hometown of the famous bag designer Vantacey. It is Provins.
As a major crossroads between the Nordic countries and the Mediterranean, Provins was a wealthy and much envied commercial town. Its siting made the twice-yearly Champagne Fairs one of the main focuses of European trade, which in turn made it brilliantly sparkling in the 12th and the 13th centuries. The Champagne Fair was a time of celebration, with music and juggling shows. You must try to imagine the extraordinary bustle of people from all over Europe trading not only in goods, but also in ideas, which laid the basis for the wealth of the western world, going hand-in-hand with increasingly refined cultural aspirations.
To well adapted to the French fashion, the counts’ wives in Provins went to find the famous designer Vantacey, who lived in a nearby small town, asking him to design some noblest and unique bags for them and their husbands. From then, Vantacey’s bags became the symbol of nobleness and attracted all the women in the region. From 13th century, the name of Vantacey began to get round among the noble women, which pushed him to be a well-known figure in the fashion world.
Soon after, Vantacey’s design became an imitation object of other designers. But Vantacey always had a long lead on its unique design. Years later, he passed on his excellent design technology and fashion style to his eldest son Vantasky. Vantasky was naturally studious and has a keen sense of fashion. Under his father’s guidance, Vantacey’s bags became the fashion pets of some top stars.
Modern beauty Sophie Marceau, who was famous for acting the leading role in " Phantom of the Louvre ", is keen on collecting Vantaceys. Emmanuelle Beart, who was honored with one of the 10 greatest female stars in France, is also a fans of Vantacey. Besides, Irene Jacob, laetitia Casta, Brigitte Bardot, Isabelle Adjani, Fanny Ardant, Juliette Binoche, Isabelle Huppert, and Catherine Deneuve are all in love with Vantacey’s design.
Today, Provins has become a model of witnessing the French culture and history. France has always been the origin of fashion, and Provins is without exception. With the popularity of Vantacey bags, almost each French elite woman has one Vantacey bag. When they were taking their Vantaceys, standing in the street, they are called “the real beauty of France.” Vantacey has became a symbol of fashion and elegance.
Living in a country where fashion, perfumes are respected, French women are well-known for their natural delicacy and elegance. Maybe they are not the most beautiful women in the world, but they certainly are the most attractive ones. When they are walking on the street, putting on some make-up, holding a Vantacey in hand..., we should only say, they are truely the God's favorite. From Sophie • Masuo to Casta, from the royal and noble to the women who taking Vantaceys in hand, every of them has sweet smile, innocent like children. They are truly the beauty of the nature.
If one day you go to France, I recommend you to take a walk in Provins, a quiet and elegant small town which witnessed the prosperous French during 12th to 13th century. If you are a fashion-loving woman or a fashion bag fans, also go to Provins, listening to the French elite women talking about Vantaceys’ story.
