We had a great panel in Paris
The video isn’t up yet but here are some photos and comments from our panel on:
“Bringing Social to Software” - at LeWeb3 this week in Paris:
I had at least 25+ people come up to me and tell me it was their favorite panel.
Here I am handing the mic to Robert Scoble - who asked the same question I always ask: “when can users move their data OUT of these SNS?”
I also asked up David Recordon to tell us about OpenID2. Here’s a fair synopsis.
All in all I’d say it was a pretty successful panel. Others agree.
Here’s a French blog ‘Tech Bee’

I just love being called ‘irresitible’ in French. It makes me sound like some luscious delectable chocolate.
Here’s Patrick Chanezon of Google (the OpenSocial product manager):

And here’s Tariq Krim - of NetVibes:

Hans-Peter Brondmo of Plum:

We all had a great time (there’s Susan Kish - as well):

[…] we get a first step in social networking portability? Earlier this week, during Marc Canter’s panel at LeWeb, I asked whether we could get a first step on all the social networks toward true social graph […]

Marc, that panel was great. I am sure David (Recordon) will forever hate me for pointing him out when you called on him. (Not really. He loved it. We know it.) Anyway the discussion was good and I can’t wait to see the video of it. I filmed it myself as well.
Also wondering, did anyone get any video of you shaking it at the netvibes party?
It was great meeting you. I hope I have the pleasure again.

Yes Marc, yours was one of the best panel sessions at leWeb. Hope they get the video up soon. The live production at LeWeb was great in all the halls….last years’ videos on the web are poorly encoded. I think they need more speakers from India and China and the find ways to complement TED rather than trying to compete with it. Tons of success in 2008 and it was great to hear you sing - you might want to do some of that next time you’re on stage.
