Loic Le Meur, Web entrepreneur & Seesmic CEO on Sharing: Extended Interview

Entrepreneur and conference producer Loic Le Meur describes sharing as a new form of marketing products and services and says social media transforms the ways we interact with people in our social sphere. Le Meur sees a big opportunity in a connected world to share your ideas and solutions as you invent them. The result is that both your insights and mistakes are noticed more quickly, allowing both your organization and your personal life to benefit. And in this new world of online sharing, the importance of location and language will significantly diminish.

In this video interview, Le Meur talks about social media and sharing with Ideas Project, a new website brought to you by Nokia. Ideas Project is an online space that provides a new way to interact with thought leaders and their big ideas about the future of connected communications.

Loic is the CEO behind Seesmic. He founded the company in 2007, with the goal of turning online video into a powerful medium for threaded, interactive video conversations. A seasoned entrepreneur, Loic launched several companies prior to Seesmic including: shared web hosting company RapidSite, (acquired by France Telecom) and B2L, an interactive agency (acquired by BBDO). His last company, Ublog, was acquired by SixApart, after which Loic became Chairman of SixApart Europe. Recently, Business Week Magazine named Loic one of The 25 Most Influential People on the Web.

Ideas Project, a project of Nokia, brings together the most visionary and influential big thinkers to contemplate the big ideas that matter most to the future of communications. It is also a new kind of conversation platform aimed at uncovering the connections between these big thinkers and their disruptive ideas.
