Vive le blogging revolution

53of0051 Blogging is creating a quiet revolution in Paris today and SVS was there before you can say Camembert. The epicentre of the revolution is located in the grand corridors of the French Senat buildings in Paris.

But there is nobody storming the Bastille in this land of Libertie, Fraternitie et Egalitie, rather over 200 of the world's internet movers and shakers have arrived at the Les Blogs, Blogs and Social Software Conference at the heart of the French government in Paris. The event was organised by one of the key members of the blossoming blogosphere, Loic Le Meur and featured speakers from the industry such as Joichi Ito and bloggers such as Doc Searle

The venue for this event is telling: rather than a single vendor pitch in an airport hotel which we would, based on previous experience, have expected, we are in the Senat - proving beyond doubt that the world of blogging has come out of the shadows and into the mainstream.

This is not a debate about niche technologies for anoraks. This is nothing less than the future of communication and collaboration, they say. Vive the revolution. Check back for more before I gear up for WinHEC
