I have always been keen to use the internet to communicate. My last attempt was a blog on IT Toolbox.com called "Beyond the Hype of Composite Applications" which has gained some momentum in the SOA community.I was feeling limited by this blog because it was not rich enough for me, I wanted to post pictures and videos but that wasn't possible.
I was also feeling constrained to blog about IT related stuff exclusively and I wanted to do posts on more personal topics as well.
For all those reasons, I decided to invest some of my time to create this personal Website which is not really a usual Website, not a Wiki, not a blog, just the combination of all that. I decide to call it a Web Spot.
A Spot means also a good place where you can do Windsurfing 
So, here is the result, I hope you like it. This website is personalized/access-controlled. If you register, I will attach you to a security group giving you access to more stuff than just what you see as guest.
I was searching for an alternative allowing me to do all of that and decided to go for a personal website at the end of 2006.
My requirements for this website were:
- nice look and feel
- inexpensive hosting
- access control to more private areas for sharing pictures and music with my family and friends
- public blog with RSS feeds supporting various categories
- multi-lingual (French for my family and friends), English for the IT related blogs
- possibility to send newsletters
- good Google ranking
- support for comments on the different items
