Now he tells us - Loic Le Meur, one of the three organizers of LeWeb3 is offering one of his Twitter followers a free ticket and business class airfare to LeWeb3.
"..am amazed that we just passed 1200 participants this year. Check our program, workshop program and startup competition. You can still join us but be fast before we shift to our last minute pricing on Wednesday night (dec 5th), 1250 EUR before tax.
To celebrate, I will offer a free L'Avion business-class ticket (L'Avion is a sponsor, a business class only airline from New-York to Paris) and a free ticket to LeWeb3 (more than $4000 value) to one of my twitter follower.

clemeur Please direct message (only) me on my twitter in less than 140 characters why you should win that plane and participation ticket to LeWeb3, make sure also you can take the (non flexible, non changeable) flight on December 9th New-York to Paris, LeWeb3 on Dec 11th and 12th and return ticket Paris NY on December 13th all in business class ! You will only have to find a hotel, and there are plenty of choices in Paris. Please do not try to win it to sell it on Ebay as we will need one name to give to L'Avion and that should be the name of the winner.
You can participate until thursday evening (the 6th) San Francisco time (PST), only by twitter direct message, thanks.
See you in Paris !
Loic"
And here's his video about the deal (I don't seem to be able to embed it):
Here's the thing - those are the exact days and times I'm flying - he didn't say anything about the hotel (unless I missed that), but I for one, wouldn't mind winning this ticket anyway, even though I'm invited to cover LeWeb3 as press.
I wish he were inviting me to SPEAK…that would be something else - I'd talk about the work we're doing at the WAA with Social Media Standards, some of the Second Life Work we're doing at IBM (to the extent I can talk about it) and the work we're doing building a new Social Network for the Web Analytics Association.
And the Business Class Airfare from NYC would be perfect for me (Plus a nicer hotel) as that's where I live.
