I’ve been attending the future of web apps conference In London, a 2 day conference and expo, covering case studies, development concepts and cutting edge startup web app sites.
For Ethical Junction, I think is essential if we’re going to support and innovate our services and provisions to our members and regular visitors, that we’re keeping abreast of current developments in the social media scene.
Its been extremely interesting so far, having heard from a variety of speakers including FaceBook, Digg and Mozilla, on various topics from technical developments on a very low level, to outlining pitfalls experienced on a first hand basis, giving those entering into new technical areas a roadmap. With a specific split between a development and business track, it’s keeping me very busy . . and my brain space is filling up fast.
On an exposure note, when i’ve spoken to different attendees about Ethical Junction, i’ve had genuine interest into our business model and what we do. The Open Rights Group
So far, i’ve been filled with so many ideas on how to expand knowledge of our members services to the UK and the world, utilising social media / social networking (flickr, twitter) concepts behind it, I’m quite excited at the potential for Ethical Junction.
Great networking, and a whole day of workshops tomorrow.
