A blogger meeting/interviewing another blogger is always a great thing. In short, Robert was such an awesome guy. Very exciting and encouraging. And smart and nice, at the same time. No wonder he's enjoying what he's doing.

Unfortunately, my camcorder runs out of battery in the middle of the interview (he talks about innovation across the world) Oh, well. We'll definitely catch up for more later, right? :)

In the interview, I ask him about his blogging career, what it's like to blog for a company and now as an independent, a common pattern among innovative companies, and what's up for web companies now, etc. Enjoy the interview!

In this 3-minute video interview, I talk about the impact of the Internet and new media on society, the candlelight vigil, and the fading of Cyworld. I look pretty nervous in the video, so take that into consideration :)

Loic came to Korea for Open Web Asia and obviously he deeply understands what it means to have global presence on the Web: he's French, doing his business in the Valley, with lots of interests in Asia.

So here is my brief inteview with Loic. It's unedited, but the content is great :)

It's really great to be here, especially to represent to cool and stylish Internet fellows in Europe! I'm sketching out some scenes from the conference below. I'll do my best to update the conference info.

Now you might ask, "so, is the fall/winter of 2008 a conference time for you?"

I go, "Yes!" After my stints with X Media Lab and Open Web Asia.

So, I'm heading to Paris on Monday for LeWeb '08 Paris. Why? I've been invited to be on the panel called "Embracing Asia's Market Explosion." What else would I talk about? :) Also on the panel are:
