1000heads out and about

It’s been a very busy few days for the Heads. On Wednesday Robbie, Dons and Col attended Amplified 09 in Haymarket where they joined in all kinds of workshops and debates around the future of online video, managing social identities, future innovations and much, much more, with 300 of the most switched on and creative folks you’d like to meet. Nice summary of the event from Pat Kane here.

Last night, Michelle and Lee headed to the Barbican to see Us Now, a short film directed by Ivo Gormley examining how the internet is transforming society, with comments from the likes of George Osborne and Clay Shirky and a Q&A at the end (there’s a short clip below). With an increasing loss of trust in our institutions, people are increasingly looking towards peer- or self- governance, and there was some real split opinion around how possible or indeed inevitable this will be. Stimulating stuff.
 

And this morning, that sociable trio Robbie, Dons and Col are out again hosting the first Oxford Tuttle, with live photos and Tweets flooding in. It looks like they’re having an excellent time talking social media, creative tech and word of mouth.
 
 
Who needs a weekend when your week is this much fun? Wait, don’t answer that.
