WiFi Bloging

I'm sitting inside a McDonalds on Boulevard Saint Germain in Paris.

They have free WiFi. In theory if i still had Skype or my Xten softphone clients installed I could make phone calls.

The price. Free for thirty minutes. If you want more time, you just open another browser window. The three McSurfers are all from New York. Students in Paris at various schools. In all the hot spots I've been to in Paris I have yet to see a Parisian. That makes me wonder if WiFi is an American centric concept or if we're just more into being always on? Is the fact that SMS and GPRS data are more widely adopted here why you see less "hot spoters" in the cafes that are locals?

By the way, I'm using the new SixApart Mobile bloging software the photos will appear below.

I'm posting this from the PDA. All of this means more ways to stay connected and to spread the word.
