06.10.08Enterprise 2.0 Conference - Implementing Enterprise 2.0: Exploring the Tools and Techniques of Emergent ChangeDion Hincliffe, Founder and CTO of Hinchcliffe and Co, well-known Enterprise 2.0 and Web 2.0 blogger and creator of the Web 2.0 University was the presenter for this session. Unfortunately, the conference wifi went down at the start of the session, so liveblogging went out the window as an option.

05.12.08Conversation. Collaboration. Community.Here you go... My talk from Interesting South 2008. Unusually, I was incredibly nervous before and during this talk. I'm dreading seeing the video, as I don't think it'll be at all flattering or indicative of my usual style. I guess it was a combination of factors - really wanting to present at this event, being late in the schedule (which ran well over time), there being so many great talks on the night with me being third last and having so many people in the audience that I respect highly and whose opinions I value (thanks for being there - ...
