Update from LikeMinds Conference

It's been a spectacular day so far with some stunning speakers. We even had a bit of interaction with PhotoLegal host Phill Price on the big screen.

But (sorry Phill) that was really overtaken by the fact that we had a bit of interaction with the wonderous Stephen Fry!

Almost 200 people, entirely brought there by social media - no old media advertising. Serious movers and shakers within the social media industry from the UK and US. Not in London but in Exeter.

From huge media companies such as Sky to regional legal firms like Everys, we've had it all.

The beauty of social media is that it does not respect national or any other sort of boundaries. It is an incredible expression of what the internet can be all about - real time engagement and interaction.

Thank you to the speakers, my fellow panelists, the audience and the organisers for what has been an incredible day. Lots of new friends and contacts made. It's what it's all about!

For those of you who could not make it, there will be videos at the LikeMinds website and another conference next year. Hopefully, we'll see you there!
