Maybe this is me being French, but I am amazed at the amount of activity in France around everything web2.0. I see people involved in Coworking, Pinkomarketing, I see great start-ups being represented at shows in the US. Maybe something that has to do with the online culture of people who were raised with Minitel?
I'll will not be in Paris for LeWeb3.0, but I will at least get a glimpse of who is involved in these events the week before:
I will be looking for the begining of an answer there, why so many French are involved in this? Is it me or is there really something?
