So by now the le webconference here in Paris is over. They improved the heating, however they didn’t manage to get some proper food and drinks (more on that over here). Yet the keynote speeches today were great and personally I also got to know some nice com pan ies and the people behind them.
What happend since our last post:
Last night we hit the myspace.com party Palais Maillot. Funny thing – with myspace being so cool and a place for artists and musicians – you would expect the same from a myspace party. Somehow most people thought so as well but honestly I was a bit dissapointed. Anyhow, we definitly had the coolest shoes around Still fun, most people who didn’t leave around midnight ended up drunk and dancing. Lea even saw some guy (button down, balding, mid 60s) dancing the viennese style, by which i do not mean waltz. (krocha).
Today we listened to some of the speakers, eg Marissa Mayer from Google and Robert Scobles presenting the winning team from the start-up competition, which is Viewdle “a facial recognition powered digital media platform for easily indexing, searching & monetizing video assets”. Pretty cool stuff as already mentioned above.
I uploaded some low-quality pics from my iphone (when the wifi was working)flickr so head over and check them out. We are also pretty lucky with Simon, our french collegue and 123people Representative for France. He knows a s*** load of people and he’s a cool guy – a combination i do like. We gonna get some food with him later on and are heading then to the Techcrunch party for some quick sips of booze. In the meanwhile we are going to enjoy the mama shelter, and indulge its interior decoration.
Aloha. Adois.
