There were Tweets flying back and forth, people discussing and joining in via the back channel as well as questions being transmitted to the floor.

What did I get out of it? Detail about what the Guardian and the BBC are looking at in terms of social media, some new Twitter buddies and a lunch with my colleague David Harrison this very day.

I’ll leave David, who I stumbled into during the live blogging,  to tell you the story. But it kind of shows  how social media often has knock on effects that people often do not anticapte. In my case that would be pizza, an interesting chat and the opportunity to explore some new tools and ideas that might just provide a very interesting spin on some of the projects I’m currently looking at.

And that’s a good start from any blog posting in my humble opinion.
