One side effect of the double-badge is that it seems like some baddies were taking one side out and giving it to their friends to sneak in, or the organizers thought that might happen.

I couldn't attend this year and your post is an excellent summary. I was annoyed that I had to miss the event and now I see it was actually one big party. We should organize it one day in Belgium that way we can share some good french fries and tweet about why we call them "french". :) More seriously, I attended LeWeb last year and found it quite interesting. I strongly felt the discrepancies between the American and European way. The fact is that there are way too many cultural differences in Europe to compare it to the USA and saying that we Europeans have to follow the American approach and services, is simply too bold.
