Sacré Bleu! Le Web 3 fall-out
There were some negative remarks about the Le Web 3 conference when I was out in Paris earlier this week, surrounding the organisation and tone of the event. Upon our return, things took a decidedly weird turn.
Following a disagreement between TechCrunch UK publisher Sam Sethi and conference organiser Loïc Lemeur of Six Apart, played out publicly through blog posts and follow-up comments, Michael Arrington, the US-based lead publisher of TechCrunch (a Le Web 3 partner), put TechCrunch UK on hiatus and parted company with Sethi.
Site editor Mike Butcher (also seen this weekend discussing Second Life on BBC News) has jacked it in, too, using an open letter to publicly put across his version of events. The letter has been Dugg and linked to from various places.
Difficult to know exactly what to say in these situations, except hope all concerned can have a good Christmas, which is where my attention is beginning to turn, and move on in the new year.
