Fon launches the PeekFon with free PanEuropean GPRS Roaming
Thursday, December 10th, 2009Martin doesn’t say if it connects to Exchange however the BIG question is how Arrington will react.
Fon has actually managed to get a product to market without a whole soap opera of blogs etc.
Fon launches the PeekFon with free PanEuropean GPRS Roaming.
Zappos and happiness…
Thursday, December 10th, 2009I’m half awake but there is a big take away from this presentation. To be happy we need purpose and a large part of that is a feeling of control over our own work. How many people can claim that they control their own work in the modern workplace?
This could be considered very hippy but he was listened to in almost silence by over a thousand people.
Wow!
Chad Hurley from YouTube
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009“I was looking for a sport and F1 seemed interesting”
Chad Hurley
Is he serious? He was looking for a sport?
How many videos of this interview will be on YouTube tonight?
Don’t come for lunch…
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009It’s now almost a rule of LeWeb. The first day’s lunch is poor; this year was no exception.
Mike Arrington grows up…
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009Arrington has been at LeWeb for the last few years.
Usually he’s a pain the rear end trying to create a news story and being stupidly critical.
This year he seems to have grown up. He’s just managed to chair an interesting discussion without looking for a fight.
At last, the triumph of facts over form.
Where is Hugh?
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009Just realized that Hugh isn’t here! Looking at the Twitter feed doesn’t look like he will be either.
Sad!
Twitter on stage…
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009What are the chances that the blue whale will make an appearance?
Seriously this is tempting fate.
LeWeb: Oh the heat!
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009It’s really very, very hot here.
Le Whinger…
Sunday, December 14th, 2008Comments by Thomas Crampton…
“From his comments about the Sauna set up outside the conference, Carr shows his true European colors:
I found [the sauna] packed to its pine rafters with Brits, getting slowly drunk on licorice vodka and gleefully bitching about how disappointing everything was.
This gleeful bitching and cynicism by Carr and his fellow Europeans may have something to do with the difficulty Europeans have in getting things done.”
To be honest; I think that Thomas is being generous.
I think a large part of this is jealousy, and not jealousy of Loïc but of the sucess of Le Web.
In 2006 a lot of the British commenators who complained about Le Web said that next year they would organize a better conference in the UK. It must be said that those Whingers from 2006 have really shown Loïc up with their action and hard work.
