SMCH7: Don’t Build a Company, Build a Cause.
Big request from Ben Parr to every single entrepreneur in the world, one I hope that folks at Le Web, as well as on the livestream, heard loud and clear (can you see a theme starting to form for me here on the blog?). The first half of Ben’s presentation shared some of his thoughts around trends for [...]
SMCH7: Learning From Failure, Wise Words from Bill Gross

SMCH7: Live sketching at Le Web
There are two groups doing some amazing visual work and capturing the conversations taking place at Le Web over the three days here in Paris. One of my favorites, Jess3, has produced a series of infographics based on the keywords in the conference tweets pulled via Radian6. And the fellas from livesketching have been capturing [...]
SMCH7: Eating our way through Paris.
Chris and I arrived in town around 8:30am on Sunday morning and as soon as our bags hit the floor of our apartment, we were out the door and on the hunt for a local bakery and fromage (cheese) shop for some baked goods for breakfast. A mere block and a half from our apartment [...]

In 2009, while there was [...]
SMCH7: Android to be a developers dream in six months?
Eric Schmidt, Chairman of Google, was another one of my favorite Le Web sessions today – mostly for his obvious passion for the good and the health of, the Internet. The only fault I see in Eric is his undying love of Android. Ha. Some of the key phrases he shared today are: “If [...]
SMCH7: Karl Lagerfeld is an Apple fanboy…and a fashion guru.
Bet you knew one of those two things. The Le Web conference opened this morning with a discussion between Loic Le Meur and fashion icon, Karl Lagerfeld. I won’t pretend to be a girl who thinks a lot about fashion. While I like to look good, I have never been one to follow what all [...]
SMCH7: Better than a hotel, but…
When Chris and I travel for conferences, we like to rent an apartment in the city when staying for more than three days. It is something we have done for years, and this trip to Paris was no exception. We have used a service called Paris For Rent several times, and through it, we came [...]
