Hello and welcome

I've got my dongle working! Woohoo!

Today is a briefing day organised by the G20 Voice peeps.

Am networking like a wild thing. Oh look, there's Michelle O. 'Scuse me.

Do you think that blogging about the live streaming of people eating sandwiches while talking about blogging is the Final Stage of futility? Or is there a bit further to go yet?

Is there a link to the coat yet?

onebatmother · 01/04/2009 13:16

There's further to go bloke. Wait for the discussion of the quality of the sandwiches.

What is this day FOR though Pol? I don't see where tax man, good as he was, fits in.

Are these people telling you what to look out for, as it were? Explaining the issues? Have they been allowed access to you bcs they're sort of 'authorized' countervoices?

WilfSell · 01/04/2009 13:17

Am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO busy...

And SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pissed off to be missing all this.

And PW, I love you EVEN MORE if that is possible having seen your picture.

ROFLing at puree encrusted. Do they not know who Aitch is we are?

onebatmother · 01/04/2009 13:23

PW have you got an iPhone? If so there's a v cool app called audioBoo which allows you to audio blog v easily.

Threadworm · 01/04/2009 13:25

Blimey onebat, you really are getting scarily up-to-date on all these cyber technologies aren't you.

Habbibu · 01/04/2009 13:25

Oh, I went for lunch and now I'm all confused. And stop sending pol off to twitter - I have enough stuff open here as it is.

Trying to make obm's link work here

Habbibu · 01/04/2009 13:26

Nice x-post with thready!

Habbibu · 01/04/2009 13:27

Oh, I saw the lunch!

Threadworm · 01/04/2009 13:27

Go and audioboo pol's twittering dongle on your hootsuite.

onebatmother · 01/04/2009 13:27

Ooh I hope she's networking furiously.

how DO you network gizmo? I've often wondered, I'm absolutely crap and get stuck with boring person. (it was you that had a sheaf of networking tips, wasnt' it?)

Habbibu · 01/04/2009 13:28

Lots of yellow and red stuff. I'm thinking a complex buffet, not sandwiches.

WilfSell · 01/04/2009 13:29

er. where are you all watching exactly?

Must go and recruit potential bums on seats intellectuals of the future. And I have broken my heel. But I might be able to, um, watch or tweet or summat between all zero one students.

onebatmother · 01/04/2009 13:31

Threadie it's been a prosis of osmosis.

I can't help it. I know about social media too, now.

Any questions?

Pol, I just heard an interesting audioboo from @lloddavis who is concerned about the strange position of bloggers - not press, but allowed in and able to publish own opinions under the aegis of Oxfam etc. Why don't you ask someone who knows WHY you're all there?

Habbibu · 01/04/2009 13:32

At work, Wilf. Strategic Plan be damned.

onebatmother · 01/04/2009 13:33

They've left the mike on.
The world is SO going to overhear PW asking Duncan if her bum looks big on this chair.

WilfSell · 01/04/2009 13:33

no, I meant where on the um interweb Habs...?

onebatmother · 01/04/2009 13:34

30.31.32.33.34.35

kinell my 3 yr old can do that!

Habbibu · 01/04/2009 13:34

don't really get that, onebat - what difference does it make if they're press or not - except that they're not under some other editorial influence. Doesn't the G20Voice page explain this?

And audioboo is a vile word.

onebatmother · 01/04/2009 13:35

once more with feeling

I posted it ages ago, Wilf. Now, if you can't be bothered to read the thread, I really wonder about your contribution to World Peace.

onebatmother · 01/04/2009 13:38

Oh, the page!

snice · 01/04/2009 13:39

What number table is PW on?
