A new movement will born tomorrow from LeWeb3

Published by daino Dicembre 12th, 2006 in Events

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!)

Sorry Lele but i disagree with you (and not because we did’nt meet today in Paris!)

I think that the great gain today is of Sarkozy because he will be, for the whole nation as the presindential candidate who cares about innovations. I would not day the blogosphere has nothing gained today, but it will be surely less important.

I did’nt like a political man invited in a private speech just to reclame himself with a prewritten text in french. I think everything was organised, also because the great competitor of Sarkozy, Mme Royal had today a preprogrammed meeting on the other side of the nation. It was just a great show for the conservative candidate.

Lele non sono assolutamente d’accordo con te questa volta! (E non credere che sia per oggi pomeriggio!)

Credo tutto fosse previsto a priori, altrimenti Sarkozy non sarebbe arrivato con un testo già scritto in francese facendo finta di avere rinviato chissà quale impegno. Si sapeva da tempo che la diretta candidata oggi sarebbe stata all’altro capo della Francia per un impegno previsto da mesi, è stato semplicemente uno spottone gratuito e preorganizzato.

Inoltre credi davvero che sarà il mondo dei blog a guadagnarne oppure sarà più Sarkozy a passare come l’uomo nuovo? Non sto neppure a dirti cosa hanno detto le televisioni stasera, c’era solo lui, l’uomo della provvidenza, l’uomo che sa anche usare internet e sa ascoltare tutti…

Se c’è un vincente si sa bene chi sia, se qualcuno ci ha perso qualcosa credo sia stato chi ha pagato per andare alla conferenza ritrovandosi poi in mezzo ad uno spot elettorale confezionato su misura, con i suoi soldi tra l’altro.

Non mi è piaciuta per niente…

Grazie delle cronache a noi “blog-spettatori” ultranecessarie. Mi sembra tu sia stato il più multimediale di tutti… mo’ provo a multimedializzarmi lentamente…

Did you attend the speech of Sarkozy? It was a pointless pretentious piece of political buzzwords. He was totally out of place. Ask him questions? The faster he was out of there, the better.

Simon Perez was impressive, I’ll give you that. The thing is, Loic promised one thing, charged for it and then changed it for his own purposes. That was dishonest.

The BloggersForAbetterWorld movement is hopefully a succesfull one, but can be attributed to speakers like Hans Rosling, David Weinberger and Simon Perez. Certainly not to people like Sarkozy or Bayrou.
