Working at home, I miss the conversations with colleagues, chats with people who pass by, hearing about the news and latest technological developments at the coffee table. Skype, MSN, e-mail can hardly replace this.
This is one of the reasons to subscribe to the conference Le Web 3, 11-12 December in Paris. Not far from home, a possibility to meet new people. I don't think I would have chosen this conference from the title and the first look at the program, which seems quite broad. At least the list of participants show a variety of companies and also a lot of French people. We'll see how it is.... !
