Simon’s Blog (the official one)

When I met up with David Wilcox (designingforcivilsociety and socialreporter) last week he spoke enthusiastically about his work programme this week which included providing a live and online dimension to face to face events. He coined the phrase ‘the online plugin for events’ which I thought was a neat way of summing it up.

So yesterday, David teamed up with Dave Briggs and they added the live and online dimension to the Digital Inclusion conference and they sum up the experience here:

Dave has documented the process here.

It’s great that they used our new Networks Online technologies and techniques as a foundation for this and integrated Twitter Feeds using Hashtags, live Video using Qik and more. As one of the people who couldn’t be there, it was great to catch the mood of the event and hear people talking about Experts Online (and seeing the banners in place). It was also good to see old friends like Dave Carter of Manchester City Council. See the whole plugin here: dc10plus.socialreporter.net.  This is what Peter Farell and Julie Mitchell of UK online centres said about their work (note the Experts Online mention).

Today David is providing a ‘plugin’ for Innovation Exchange event. And again it’s on Networks Online here: inex.socialreporter.net.
