Some Web Summit coverage in today’s irish Independent
DJ writes
“I have been noticing the abnormal amount of coverage the Web Summit is getting across all Denis O’Brien-owned media platforms. It’s almost like he’s behind the whole event. He isn’t is he? Is HE? No? Is HE? NO? NOOOOOOOO? Is HE? He isn’t?
Bitter begrudging keyboard whatsit or cogent observer of Irish flotsam?
We may never know.

The Irish Independent are a Web Summit media partner. It used to be The Irish Times but it changed this year, not sure if they were out-bid or whatever, don’t really know, but that’s what happened.
The constant anti-DOB line peddled here is becoming tiresome.

I don’t think so. He’s the Halliburton of Ireland. He even has a private security force to safeguard the installation of his water meters.
That’s just cause he’s cuddly
-45 (months since Moriarty was published, http://www.moriarty-tribunal.ie/asp/index.asp?ObjectID=636&Mode=0&RecordID=399)
The man got to where he is through the brown envelope politics proven in the Moriarty Tribunals.
Cop yourself on
Friends in High Places, free Seimens water meters or expensive generic ones?
It’s tiresome when they publish stuff like this.
The summit has NOTHING to do with DOB yet they don’t turn down a chance to have a moan.
disagree vehemently. Denis is controllin all our airwaves, well at least the news!
Don’t be so sensitive, Padi.
Being a buddy of Paddy Cosgrove is nothing to be ashamed of.
Did Denis get a first class honours degree by the way?
Isn’t it time for another f’ed company website. The dotcom flameouts. Used to be a great read.

This is actually a huge event. There’s about 1,000 journos covering it.
I was surprised that there wasn’t more homegrown coverage of it last year.
Its a good news story so probably won’t get much beyond the its worth 100 million to Dublin.
Nothing on the companies, the ideas, the deals and the innovation.
Sigh…….
Yeah yeah but what I want to know is what Mark Zuckerberg thinks of Ireland sure doesn’t he have any auld Irish blood in his little veineens, so I do.
THE NATION DEMANDS ANSWERS.
Double Irish is been and phased out,
cheap english speaking IT graduates – hello India
Hello irony
i keep hearing it’s worth 100 million – so show me the books, cos i don’t believe it for a minute.
1500 plus a ticket, slave interns and not paying speakers, its easy to see who’s making money, besides the city. Smug git with a 1st class honours in being a good little organiser who will brown nose and schmooze anyone with a dollar who has something better to offer. Has he had an original idea and produced anything tangible?
Go and organise an alternative then.
So what if it’s a talking shop for all those who were bullied at school, they need to go to conferences and get laid too. It’s not fair that the sales guys get todo it all of the time.
At the end of the day a whole lot of overpaid nerds come here from abroad and spend lots of money. Who cares if it’s worthwhile or not? Companies pay the entrance fee and hotels and pubs are full for a week.
I wonder what Jane Ruffino thinks?
