Andrea Weckerle, who I met in Paris, just sent me a new written meme. I am supposed to fill it with 5 things you probably don't know about me. So here I am playing with it. Hopefully, I won't disclose so many things, as I am too shy.

If they wanted world bloggers to talk about LeWeb3, they got it!! More than 24 hours after the conference finished, LeWeb3 is the top search in Technorati, while Sarkozy and LeMeur-Sarkozy have also gotten into the top 15. I am starting to wonder if this is all part of a viral marketing campaign.

LeWeb3 is over. Great job of Loic Lemeur and the rest of organisers! I hope they get the energy for a new conference next year. Besides that, right at the end, Yossi Vardi (the founder of the company that made ICQ and later sold it to AOL) and Loic Lemeur presented what will become a new bloggers' movement: BloggersForABetterWorld (the domain name was bought by David Sifry but is not working yet). If you want to participate, you will have to place a logo on your website and write, on a weekly basis, a post about social responsibilty. "Something to make a better world, even if you wont't get any Google ads out of it", Vardi added. Tomorrow more...

Google did not need to sponsor LeWeb3. It was mentioned by most of the speakers. Google is everywhere. It has become too powerful. One of the speakers even asked how many people did not use Google and only 4 (among 1,000) raised their hands. They were, by the way, employees of Yahoo! and Microsoft.

I was afraid nobody would speak about Digg. It was David Weinberger (the author of The Cluetrain Manifiesto) who just did it in one of the best conferences I have seen so far, if not the best. He opposed the directors' committee of a newspaper, as the New York Times, to the peoples' committee of Digg. I am afraid he is right. Things are slowly going towards a scenario in which social media as Digg or the Spanish Meneame become the preferred information sources for people. "We will read what people recommend us to read", he added.

Nicholas Sarkozy, who is running for the presidency of France, just gave a political speech in French here in Le Web 3. He is a great speaker and he said some typical political things, like "we want to protect P2P but also protect the authors". Uhm, it seems hard to do both things at the same time. He was received like a leader: lights, music, cameras, more than 20 journalists, etc. It is clear that he could become the next president, but what does this have to do with Le Web 3?

Well, I didn't. Marko Ahtisaari, from Blyk, just said it. Another interesting reality: many people check their e-mail before even dressing, after they get up in the morning. He also gave some examples of future functionalities for mobiles: photostream (like Flickr), signaling (as in Jaiku) and real identity (as in Linkedin). They are all social, by the way. Another thing that is coming: new advertising formats, which don't exactly mean that you will be interrupted in your communications.

Two discussions in a row about the future of TV. The death of TV, somebody called them. What is clear is that entrepeneurs working on this area, as Rodrigo Sepúlveda, from VPodTV, are far away from the majority of the Internet users. "I watch some TV programs, but only on my computer or on my iPod", he said. I don't believe so many people do so.

Loic Lemeur is obsessed with the idea that bloggers are the fifth power, that they are nowadays politically the most influential group. Yesterday he invited an international political especialist, Hans Rosling. And today the star was Shimon Peres, former prime minister of Israel. Politics was again the main subject. But is this what bloggers at the conference were expecting to hear?
