Aside from being a great event, Le Web has thrown up a new discovery.

We came across this guy “Scoble Jr“, like some kind of re-incarnated Boy Dalai Lama, singing a song in a Paris Irish bar (if that’s even possible). The song was about something called the FriendFaxFeed. This is a new realtime app with which “you can fax a friend an call it a feed”. Enjoy:

{Ok, Ok, I’ll explain: Out at dinner after Le Web, we found amongst us a guy who’d never heard of Robert Scoble, but looked exactly like him, only about 20 years younger. After explaining it all, he hit the piano.

    That was the best night out from Paris #afterLeWeb.

    Hope Robert will love that gift masterminded by Jeremiah, Mike, me and other crazy geeks in a Chinese-Irish pub ;-)

    (thanks to Fahran for the amazing vid!)

    Ha Ha – Mike – same old story whichever European city – the lure of the Irish pub proves too much again……….

      Remember its not a real Irish pub unless theres the guy who looks about 90 wearing a cap and is chain smoking rollups and reading the racing post.
