BIG BIG NEWS FROM LeWeb3.
Just at the end of the conference Loic Le Meur get the stage to announce that there’s something very important to say and invites Yossi Vardi (father of ICQ) to talk.
Before that he got a couple of minutes to explain his reasons why for invitation of Monsieur Shimon Peres, Monsieur François Bayrou and Monsieur Nicolas Sarkozy to the conference.
In the Room behind the conference, infact, some people were not happy about this decision, considering something that stole their money paid not for politicians. Loic told us that he would repeat the choice, because NO RISK = NO INNOVATION.
I agree with him for three reasons: (1) from a communication point of view he was great. With these big personalities he attracted national televisions and radios (mainstream media) that tonight are going to talk about the blog event in all the country (= maximum exposition for us as blogosphere); (2) he gave the opportunity to “different world” to talk with a new world with the credo of discussion; (3) he launch the idea of the movement thanks to the morning fantastic speech by Mister Perez (I’m going to explain just after).
Unfortunately Sarkozy didn’t get the occasion to discuss with the public (I think is for that reason that people got angry). The fact that rumors say that Loic works for Sarkozy as a consultant to me is not bad, he invited all, someone answered, someone not!
Second BIG NEWS: at the very end of the conference Yossi Vardi announced the launch of the movement BloggersForBetterWorld (Technorati tag: bfbw or b4bw … decision ongoing). The idea is that to belong to the movement you decide to write one post a week on social responsability topics and you put on your blog a button that Loic’s team is going to publish tomorrow on his blog. After a while David Sifry (Technorati) bought the domain and created a special tagging area for that.
It’s a good thing to me, it’s part of the reason why I’m following the stream of the blogosphera = trying to make a better world (is also my personal dream as my generation’s one). Sorry for long post, I’m excited and proud of being there in that moment, I hope could be an historical one on the Internet; infact I shooted a brief video (and I think of being the only one).
Look also Luca Conti, Diego Bianchi, Tiziano Fogliata, Nicola Mattina, Amanda Lorenzani blogs (I was there with these great italian guys!)
