Final Le Web Podcast with Marc Canter

Posted on by

And now the final recording from Le Web 3, and my interview with Marc Canter – you can have one guess what he’s talking about… yes it’s the People Aggregator! Anyway, as always you can pop over to The Tech Conference Show, or just listen here.

While I didn’t do the following (it wouldn’t have been fair on Marc), I was seriously considering interrupting the show half-way through to drop in a second interview, discussing the lyrics to “A Fairytale of New York,” because I’m pretty sure

[Le Web 3] Loic Le Meur’s Reply and My Thoughts

Posted on by

First of all, Loic Le Meur has replied on his blogs to the blogstorm of comments around Le Web 3. You should head over and read that first. I am glad Loic has said sorry, and he’s looking to move forward. That’s good. Personally the main issue I have is that Le Web 3 turned into the Daily French Politics. Le Meur knows how politics works, and should have been able to recognise that this was going to be the news cycle of the day, that Candidates A and B spoke to ‘those internet people who represent 60 million people’

[Le Web 3] Tech Conf Podcast with Sam Sethi (Formerly Tech Crunch UK)

Posted on by

Le Web 3 held the promise promise of bringing together entrepeneurs, coders, internet geeks, I wanted to find the man behind the UK/Europe echo chamber of Tech Crunch UK, Sam Sethi. Why start the company? What challenges are there for VC funders, how do start ups work in the 2.0 world, and what can they use as their cash out? This conversation was recorded and edited on Monday evening, before subsequent events placed Tech Crunch UK on hold, with Sam Sethi and Michael Arrington parting company. No subsequent edits have been made, although it is a rather bittersweet listen now…

[Le Web 3] Hard Core Gaming Podcast

Posted on by

I never linked to this before travelling to Le Web 3, but it’s an interview with myself, Jonas Luster and Nicole Simon, about gaming in daily life, cyberspace, modern technology changing lifestyles and Bejewelled. Worth a listen to find out the amout of chemistry that Jonas and I struck up incredibly quickly, which carried on to our joint presentation at Le Web 3.

[LeWeb3] Technicoloured Flights and Hostels

Posted on by

What a craccking flight over from Edinburgh to Paris. I realise it’s not for everyone, but for me flying isn’t flying unless theres a bit of turbulence to make it feel right. I guess this comes from when I leared to fly a glider in my youth, so all those twitchy movements and corrections are something that intrinsicly go with flying. So climbing aboard the dinky-ish 50 seater Embraer commuter on Sunday morning (with a massive load of about 20 passengers…), waking acrosss a windy, rain lashed runway… that was flying. Fishtailing all the way up to ten thousand feet
