If you live in Europe or want an excuse to visit, join me at the upcoming LeWeb conference in Paris, produced by Geraldine and Loic Le Meur, on December 9-10. The conference program is up and the speakers list is top notch (although, oddly, mostly American). Tickets are here.

TechCrunch is a media partner (which means we’ll be covering the event extensively), and we will be holding a party on the last night of the event as well.

They expect 1,500 or so attendees from 40 countries. See the video below, as well as Geraldine’s attempt to explain the theme of the conference this year: Love. (meh)Source:TechCrunch

Despite the fact that males have long accounted for the majority of online gamers, there is a surprising shortage of casual online games directed at men aged 25-45. Beyond fantasy football and online poker there is little variety, with nearly every game failing to take advantage of advanced graphics or any interactivity beyond clicking “all-in”.

World Golf Tour is looking to fill this gap. The site has launched a free, full-featured Flash game that offers 3D graphics, an advanced physics engine, and user-customizable characters - it’s not as good as EA’s Tiger Woods series, but it’s going to be close enough for most people. The site launched a beta version last year, and is now introducing a new course, expanded customization options, and multiplayer support.
