West Midlands ICT Conference and Sharedband

Last week I went to the West Midlands ICT Cluster 2009 ICT Conference. I was purely a punter so it was interesting to go along and experience an event aimed fairly and squarely at small and medium sized IT businesses. The shocker was that compared to a lot of Third Sector/charity/public sector events was the [...]

Chain Reaction and NFPtweetup streaming

At Chain Reaction today doing a bit of social media surgery and sitting behind me are the guys from Noonan Media who are streaming the video for today’s event and the NFPTweetup tonight. You should be able to see the results of their work below
**UPDATE** now the event is over, the archived footage will [...]

Chain Reaction and NFPTweetup

Next week I’m going to be doing double duty at two great events – Chain Reaction and the 5th NFPTweetup. I didn’t go to Chain Reaction last year, but it immediately erupted across my Twitterstream as lots of attendees were eagerly tweeting about it, so Iwas really interested in going along this year. Chain Reaction [...]

Hang on…

Little bit of rebuilding going on.
Normal service will be resumed soon
In the mean time, you can find out more about me and find out how to contact me.

Underneath the Arches – a new social media cafe for Coventry and Warwickshire

Sorry it’s been a bit quiet around here, one thing I have been up to is helping to organise the first (of many hopefully) Coventry & Warwickshire Social Media Cafes.

As with many things, it started with a tweet with another Paul (Squires) who I met at the Birmingham Social Media Cafe. We both found ourselves [...]

Media 140 – a twiter conference

My first day with my own hat on for a while and in London for Media 140. There are lots of twittery people here – and they will be blogging more than me. But the back channel will be interesting…

Going solo, freerange and unjobbing

I’ve been a bit quiet for a while here but (as I mildly trailed on Twitter) big things have been happening. Today I excavated my desk from 3 and 3/4 years of paper-based sedimentary layering and packed up for the last time at ruralnet|uk.
From 1st May I’m joining the massed ranks of the freerange and [...]

Social reporting at the World Entrepreneur Summit 2009

I’m doing a bit of social reporting today with David Wilcox at the 2009 World Entrepreneur Summit being held at the (more than) Goodenough College in London.
There is some blogging taking place at the Crowdvine social network that has been set up to support the event and the various videos, pictures, tweets and audios (if [...]

NFPTweetup – In person, online and on-air

Not so much breaking news, but spraining it – here is my blurb on last week’s excellent NFPtwteetup.
Organiser Rachel Beer, and Justgiving’s (lovely sponsors of the evening) Jonathan Waddingham, brought together about 60 non-profit types to Christian Aid’s HQ in London for a couple of hours of chat about Twitter and all manner of social [...]

UKGovWeb Barcamp: People, pizza and possibilities

On Saturday I went to my first Barcamp and was lucky enough that it was the UKGovWeb Barcamp hosted at the impressive sounding Ministry of Justice.
After whizzing round the room getting names and tags for everyone, Tim Davies gave us the rules for the day, sessions were organised and people just sort of got on [...]
