Le Web’s Spimes
Geraldine has announced this year’s ‘theme’ for Le Web and I hope that every time it is said on stage, everyone puts on a Bruce Sterling accent.

C’est un ‘Le Web’ Cadeau
One of the many interviews I did at Le Web was with C-Net France. Interestingly the reporter had a list of four names to track down specifically for the interviews, and I was one of them (the others were Robert Scoble, Joi Ito and Michael Arrington, who I can only assume he didn’t get). Anyway, it’s all in French and with a quick run through the Alta Vista translator (yes I knew they still had a use) I think I managed to not put my foot in it! Et mon second appareil serait un Filofax, un organiseur en papier. Pas
Le Web Report now up on BBC News
My annual report from Le Web is now posted on BBC News, in the Technology section. The venue may be a former morgue, but Le Web, one of the largest conferences looking at net-based businesses and technologies, proves the web is very much alive and kicking. Hosted by Geraldine and Loic Le Meur, the 2,300 attendees spent two days in Paris looking at how the internet has developed and what technologies are likely to shape its evolution. The Le Meurs spotted the rise of the "real-time web" when planning this year’s conference – with so much information being created every
Le Travelling Geeks
Yes Le Web is coming up (and the full program has now been published so you can sort who you want to see and when the best time is to nip out for a decent sized-lunch), but I’ll be doing a little something in Paris beforehand. The Travelling Geeks. Organised by Renee Blodgett for the two days before Le Web will see a number of us descending early on Paris to see some presentations form the latest European start-ups and what they are working on in a smaller, more intimate environment. I’m looking forward to it, partly because it’s going
But I Came Here For An Argument! Le Web’s Greatest Success
If Christmas is coming up, that can mean a few things, but one of them is that Geraldine Le Meur’s conference, Le Web, is just round the corner. It’s managed to make itself one of the tent-pole conferences in the Web 2.0 year which is not bad going seeing as it is as far away from Silicon Valley as is possible. Why has it got that position? Because unlike other conferences it has built up a mystique around it that makes it attractive. Not just because of the speakers, or the company news that comes out of the conference. Not
I’ll be ‘In Love’ at Le Web 2008
Yet again, this December I’ll be making the trip to Paris for Geraldine Le Meur’s Le Web conference (I’m convinced she just lets Loic think he’s involved and making the decisions…). The theme this year is ‘Love.’ I’ll be speaking on a panel entitled “Love in Motion: Why are Mobile Social Networks booming?” alongside Dr K F Lai (Buzz City) and Antonio Vince Staybl (Itsmy.com) with Ferhan Cook (Any Screen Productions) in the chair. I’ll have my Wubud hat on, but I suspect the conversation will branch out quickly to take in a lot of the mobile market. More info
