C’est Magnifique! LeWeb 3 2007 Thoughts

Last year, after LeWeb 3 (2006), I came back from Paris fuming (You might remember). It was pretty evident to all, including my Mum calling me after she realised just how upset I was (and creating a mental note that ‘my parents read my blog…‘). Well, I’m now back from LeWeb 3 2007, the forth […]
