NLab Social Networks Conference, De Montfort University

I spent yesterday at the NLab Social networking Conference in Leicester.

As you’d expect from a gathering of academics and business people, a lot of ideas flying around about how to use social networks to the best advantage.

One of the best speakers was Jim Benson from Modus Cooperandi in Seattle.  He did his best to bring the ideas down to earth and give businesses some basic advice about how to tackle the problem of deciding what social networking is about, how it can be applied to businesses and how to deal with the problem of finding the time to do it.

Now I have to reflect on what I heard and try to put down some markers for my own business and the way I want it to go in the next twelve months.
