Web 2.0: Practical Applications for Business Benefit

I have spent the last couple of days at the Unicom seminar, Web 2.0: Practical Applications for Business Benefit, hosted by Dave Gurteen. As usual, I have notes from the sessions up on Strange Attractor:

• Euan Semple - Opening Keynote: What’s Social Got To Do With Work Anyway?
• Ron Donaldson - The Ecology of Web 2.0
• Luis Suarez - Thinking Out of the Inbox – The changing nature of collaboration
• Penny Edwards - Social Software Applied: in legal and professional services organizations
• Judith Lewis - Online Brand Reputation Management
• Leisa Reichelt - Twitter’s Not A Waste Of Time (in defence of status updates)
• John Meakin - Secure Web 2.0, an opportunity not an oxymoron
• Cathy Ma - Key learning from Wikipedia for business
• Suw Charman-Anderson - The Email Problem and How To Solve it
• Dominic Campbell - Rewiring Relationships: Cyber Citizens and Collaborative Councils
• Marshall Manson - Engaging Social Networks
• Chris Vallance - Radio Beyond the Phone-in: Social media and broadcasting
• Andrew Woolfson - Social Media and its Use: The challenge

Had a great couple of days and met some really lovely people. David’s conferences are always interesting, and I particularly enjoyed the talks by Ron Donaldson, Luis Suarez and Dominic Campbell. Would recommend those ones if you’ve limited time to read through talk notes!
