Well, folks. While Le Web has nearly been over for a week, I'm just now getting to my round-up report of what went down. This is due to many things, like the WiFi and Ethernet connection being down most (if not all) of day two, and the fact that I seem to have caught the plague at the end of day one.

This may or may not have something to do with the door being open all of day one, despite there being snow falling outside, or the fact that I may have been starving most of the day because of the extreme lack of food...but never mind.

All in all, I like what Le Web is trying to be. I think there was a large camp of people in the audience that felt bad for the Le Meurs, and wanted to see them pull through. I want Le Web to do well, and I want the Euro entrepreneur scene to become so dazzingly and so powerful that no one will ever again make snide comments about how if the conference had taken place in California, it would have been better.

But, sadly, with all the technical difficulties at this years conference, I think we're all now going to have to work that much harder to prove that, hey, yes we do really work hard over here, and yes, we do have legitimate ideas.

The Le Meurs have their work cut out for them next year, but I'm sure they will rise to the challenege.

So, that being said, I would just like to point out my overall feelings, aside from the whole "no food, no WiFi" debacle.

As I mentioned before, I was disappointed in the first female speaker. I didn't see the relevance of her website or her product, and it just left me hoping and praying that the next female speaker wouldn't be as, um, irrelevant.

Helen Fisher was amazing, and I was very pleased with her presentation on why and how  humans fall in love.

However, after Cathy Brooks' fantastic interview with the truly inspiring Paulo Coelho, I'd have to wait another 24 hours before hearing another woman talk that made me go, "Ah yes, thank you for kick all kinds of ass as a female speaker."

I don't want to shit all over the female speakers that were there, or women that were on panels, like Catherine Barba, that I didn't get a chance to see. However, I just feel like if we're gonig to have female speakers have an equal amount of talk time as the men, perhaps we should really own the minutes that we're speaking.

While we can pretend that we're in a post-feminism era, I still believe that as women in tech, we really do need to work twice as hard. Is that fair? No. But that just seems to be where we are at the moment.

Therefore, I was hoping that the female speakers would have been twice as good as the men there, and that they would have really kicked some ass. But I just didn't feel like that. But, maybe that isn't their fault? Maybe they did the best that they could, and it was the organizers fault for not picking better speakers?

One of the best speakers of the conference was Melissa Mayer from Google who had to deal with both Loic Le Meur and Michael Arrington's ridiculous Diva antics on stage.

Before they even started to interview Melissa, Arrington decided it would be a good time to take a dig at Loic's "velvet blazer", and so, naturally, Loic took a swipe back at Arrington...while Melissa sat professionally in between them, waiting patiently to be asked a question.

When he was done prodding Loic, Arrington launched into a particularly irritating interview with Melissa, in which he asked a series of the usual questions in a style that I can only describe as being obnoxious.

Melissa never cracked, was always smiling, and was the picture of calm and professionalism, - which is something I fear both Arrington and Le Meur have completely forgotten.

Just take their back and forth drama this weekend where Loic went so far as to take a poll on whether or not Arrington should be invited back to Le Web ever again. (66% said no...LOLZ)

Now, I could go on and give you a half-hearted description of each of the speakers, but there's just no point. You've already had that, and you probably didn't even enjoy it then. So, therefore, here were my favorite speakers of the conference:

David Weinberger

Helen Fisher

Paulo Coelho

Morten Lund (Completely no BS, said 'fuck' in his presentation and spoke both of failure and following his heart. Would love to have him speak at a BitchBuzz event!)

Chris Anderson

Dr. Brian Cox

Marissa Mayer (Also one of the best female speakers of the conference)

Joichi Ito

And, last, but not least:

The "Platform Love: Getting Along" Panel with David Glzer, Jeff Hansen, Dave Morin, David Recordon, and Marc Canter.

Hopefully there will be more speakers like the above, next year.
