@cote I think I just saw him too, but with no pants on Champs Élysées. in reply to cote #
#eg8 Maurice Levy and Sarkozy on stage. Now its time for Sarkozy. Let's of chest thumping. #
#eg8 Sarkozy: " we have changed what knowledge means by making it universally accessible and available for all to contribute". #
#eg8 Sarkozy: "be faithful to the revolution you have started" #
#eg8 Sarkozy: "this is a total revolution. No flag, no slogan". #
#eg8 Sarkozy is celebrating copyright law. #
#eg8 Sarkozy would like to have e-G8 annually before each G8. Why not g20? #
#eg8 man, Sarkozy is long winded. What was the guy's question again? Can we get in another question? #
#eg8 Youth? Does Sarkozy think there are a bunch of young entrepreneurs and innovators here? BC avg age is prolly 48. #
#eg8 Sarkozy credits start of Arab cyber revolution to Iran. Expresses his hope for Iranian freedom. #
#eg8 Sarkozy admits policy has historical favored stability to justice, freedom and democracy. #
#eg8 Sarkozy: I believe that geeks are our future… Set to Whitney Houston. Are there geeks here? #
#eg8 oh hey I was sitting next to @jeffjarvis. He's now asking a question of Sarkozy. #
#eg8 @jeffjarvis asking for a "hippocratic oath" of G8 beginning with "do no harm". #
#eg8 Sarkozy likes idea of 8th continent. He doesn't get the negative connotation. #
#eg8 Sarkozy keeps repeating the desire to prevent creation of new monopolies, but IP and copyright laws assure these. Seems contradictory. #
#eg8 Sarkozy: his team spends more time analyzing Internet sentiment. implication newspaper is increasingly irrelevant. http://t.co/d28BeID #
#eg8 @jeffjarvis clearly Sarkozy did not get negative connotation of "8th Continent". #
@jblagarde @sw spent look that way from where is sit. Looks like 30-35% female. in reply to jblagarde #
#eg8 did this just turn into a McKinsey commercial? #
#eg8 it's strange to hear how McKinsey and politicians think of the Internet. #
@poissonjensen why isn't there someone representing wikileaks at #eg8 in reply to poissonjensen #
#eg8 newsflash from McKinsey: the Internet is huge in economic terms. #
#eg8 This McKinsey presentation is just plain useless. #
#eg8 McKinsey is analyzing the Internet in every dimension except a single one that matters. #
#eg8 McKinsey newsflash: "the Internet is big and it matters". Yes I'm serious. And now have "metrics". Albeit senseless ones. #
@digiphile this McKinsey talk is completely idiotic and makes me embarrassed to be at #eg8 in reply to digiphile #
#eg8 hey McKinsey I hope you're embarrassed by that ridiculous presentation. I'm embarrassed for your company. #
@jeffjarvis I don't think he mocked your call. I think he's just a bit clueless. in reply to jeffjarvis #
#eg8 having tech innovators on stage instead of the late stage parental supervisors would be a lot more interesting. #
#eg8 "Japan is totally safe. Please come back. " #
The Carriers interests are not aligned with the best interest of the people. #eg8 Amen #
#eg8 ok. Wifi appears to be down. C'mon this event isn't very big. #
Yochai Benkler intelligently slammed #HADOPI to the pleasure of the crowd. Used example of kazaa as p2p led to skype as argument. #eg8 #
@ericschmidt makes a good point as a follow up to @edyson that currently tech has a bias to transparency #eG8 #
@kevinmarks that surprised me too in reply to kevinmarks #
#eg8 wow, there are a lot of French here. #
#eg8 well that was, by far, the nicest bathroom I've ever visited in a tent. Is this Qaddafi's old tent? #
#eg8 the number of smokers here almost equal the number of French. #
#eg8 my smugness gauge is in red. #
@camille_neveux why don't you comment on the other panelists clothing? Jimmy has a nice black suit… in reply to camille_neveux #
CEO of Orange is boasting the need for his network to facilitate grouponq, Facebook, etc… #eg8 #
I have no idea what Sandberg, Orange, just said about Net neutrality. #eg8 #
I have no idea what Richard, Orange, just said about Net neutrality. #eg8 #
#eg8 Richard, Orange, implied that net neutrality, due to scarcity of spectrum, the entire Internet infrastructure may collapse. Right. #
Request for a site called: "before you agree" that allows users to rewrite their TOS. #eg8 #
@alex_zapolsky I'm near front on left. in reply to alex_zapolsky #
@mattesmattes I think you're right. Richard, Orange, seemed to be hinting that Apple takes 30% why can't carriers. #eg8 in reply to mattesmattes #
#eg8 Rupert Murdoch: Digital's Next Frontier, Education. #
#eg8 Murdoch is discussing a common topic in EDU: there has been relatively no innovation in centuries. #
@alex_zapolsky assuming I don't fall asleep in my seat. It's damn hot in here btw. in reply to alex_zapolsky #
@monkchips the food and wine is good. in reply to monkchips #
@monkchips in seriousness, I don't think any of us knew what to expect. http://t.co/setuJO2 #eg8 in reply to monkchips #
#eg8 Murdoch suggests applying science and analytics employed by media to EDU. #
#eg8 why has Murdoch being given a platform to discuss his views on EDU? How he is qualified? #
#eg8 no questions for Murdoch? If he wishes to improve EDU maybe he could cease polarizing societies and degenerating dialog. #
#eg8 this panel on IP is irritatingly one-sided and one dimensional. #
@JPBarlow is now speaking about IP. #
@JPBarlow is crushing it. GJ man. #
@JPBarlow #eg8 has been about applying tired business practices on the Internet. #
@JPBarlow has been the high point of #eg8 thus far. "you cannot own free speech" #
$5b invested into finding new talent in music industry. #eg8 I've seen what you call talent. #
The panelists delude themselves. They call themselves creation industries. They are, in fact, distribution industries. #eg8 #
#eg8 realize that distributors in many mediums are increasingly obsolete. This means no middle man. Means lower cost. #
#eg8 Mitterand let's FIGHT THE REAL ENEMY: @craignewmark; so we can save the newspapers. @JPBarlow #
@zeruch this is correct and they even had this statement on the big screen! #eg8 in reply to zeruch #
Sean Parker has really good taste in tequila. http://t.co/xL1sATq #
highlights of #eg8 singing Dead with @jpbarlow, scilizing with EFF and ICANN, debating obsolescence of media distrs w/ FR gov and Sony music #
@biskuit Yes, sounds great. in reply to biskuit #
#eg8 one can tell how old a persons business model is based on their affinity for Internet regulation. #
http://t.co/7uTTV5F @eff and @JPBarlow on #eg8 #
#eg8 #OH "Internet Shminternet. There's always France." #
#g8 not many women? For a tech event there are a ton of women. I wonder, do ppl at sociology or EDU events complain about a lack of men? #
@natfriedman congrats. in reply to natfriedman #
#eg8 no idea what question to Zuckerberg was about. Why are ppl clapping? "With transparency are people sincere on social networks? " #
#gluecon @the_spinmd sadly, there hasn't been any Bon Jovi at the #eg8 in reply to the_spinmd #

It seems like buying garbage cans would be cheaper than paying for all those people to pickup trash. #Paris #
Glad to be back in the states where our airports are cavernous and clean. #
@Buzzmodo true in reply to Buzzmodo #
@the_spinmd @mputerbaugh23 omg you're right. I brought @ashbyjulia one. in reply to the_spinmd #

Lots of news coverage of #eg8 today. I'll be writing my summary as an attendee this weekend. #
@TheTechScribe What's my one word summary of #eg8 Theater, but that's not all bad. I'll explain in my summary. in reply to TheTechScribe #

@ZoliErdos Yes, it reminded me of one of my favorite books authored by W. Sommerset Maugham. in reply to ZoliErdos #
There is no mystery why French are thin when their food is so rich and full of fat. You can't eat the volume we do in the USA. #
@digiphile you're doing a great job with your coverage of the #eg8 #
Here's my entire #eg8 photo set http://bit.ly/lkfm3p enjoy. 🙂 #
@zeruch smaller portions. Exactly. You can't possibly eat American sized portions. in reply to zeruch #
@digiphile feel free to steal. in reply to digiphile #

Seems so based on my followers. I'd guess nearly half rather than most though. RT @novaspivack http://gaw.kr/mdDTGC in reply to novaspivack #
@stoweboyd your blog skin breaks in chrome when I size down the width. in reply to stoweboyd #
I'm a little bothered that I've been traveling and working so much I have to rely on my 5yr old to translate for my 2yr old. #
