While in Paris last month, I had an awesome opportunity to catch up with Robert Scoble. For your information, I'm sometimes called the "Robert Scoble/Mike Arrington" of Korea :)

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!

I met a great number of great people yesterday at LeWeb and was able to have great conversations with many as well. One of them was intervinewing Loic le Meur, the founder of LeWeb and also the founder of Seesmic.

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 :)

As I said, I'm in paris, attending the Le Web '08 conference. I've decided to update some pictures from the So, I'm in Paris now, attending Le Web '08. 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.

If you want to talk to me, don't hesitate! Remember, there aren't too many Asian guys around at this conference, so it should be easy for you to spot me :)

See you soon!

Nikesh Arora from Google Europe and Loic are talking about the entrepreneurship in Europe. Many questions here were very similar to those discussed at Open Web Asia.

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:

  • Masashi Kobayashi - Co-Founder & Managing Partner,Infinity Ventures
  • Kaiser Kuo -Group Director, Digital Strategy, Ogilvy China
  • Frederick Henry Saurat - CEO & Co-founder The TMS Way Ltd. HK

Moderator: Thomas Crampton - www.thomascrampton.com

More than anything, I'm just honored to be on the panel and also thankful for those who got me there! Can't even begin to tell you how excited I am to meet the great people there and also visit Paris for the first time in my life!

I'm sticking around for few more days in the glorious city of Paris, so if you're planning to be there as well, don't hesitate to contact me.
