If you missed MediaCampLondon 2008 then you missed out.
I think it is fair to say that 50% of conferences are a waste of time (come on…just admit it).
*The presentations are usually boring.
*It is hard to meet the right people in a crowd.
*And you have the same conversations – over and over and over again.
Not at MediaCampLondon 2008 – I found every person I met to be interested in pushing the future of social media forward. Good discussions, interesting people, lots of ‘new technology take aways’, and great networking in a small setting.
Two super-stars of the day:
1) James Whatley – promoting SpinVox
He did a demo showing how you to call a phone number, leave a message, and have the message automatically converted into text and uploaded directly into your blog.
2) Nicholas Butler – Social Networker and Opinioneer
This guy was cracking me up with his funny one-liners and impressing me with his solid approach to helping companies with their ’social media audit’. Nicholas wanted to interview me and learn about the JustMeans expansion to London. After agreeing to the interview, he whipped out a camera and the discussion went right to his blog via a wireless connection – pretty cool. Check it out:
