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.

Kay, I'm afraid Eco-tricity is in fact, a brand.

You couldn't make it up. Well, actually, someone did....

policywonk · 01/04/2009 12:44

OBM

Where do I put the tag? In the body of the message?

They will be lovely sandwiches, Ruby.

We need to have a serious debate on this thread now, or policywonk will be told of for frivolous blogging (frivologing as it has become known among journalists me))

gizmo · 01/04/2009 12:45

PW: yes, in the body of the message. BTW, I'm trying to follow you on twitter - you deserve a fleet of followers.

ingles2 · 01/04/2009 12:46

do you think the vast majority of bloggers struggle to say anything succinctly. Not you PW of course

KayHarkerIsPlayingWithMitchell · 01/04/2009 12:46

gizmo, I bet someone was paid for it too.

'Eco-tricity'

I will only believe it if the employees all wear metallic jumpsuits. That's the only way that brand name would work in my head.

gizmo · 01/04/2009 12:47

Dammit but you are Branding Genius Kay, and should be paid accordingly.

policywonk · 01/04/2009 12:47

Ta gizmo (hello btw)

I'm Twittering on the MN account not a personal one, so find that one (I think it's MumsnetTowers?)

YES IN THE MESSAGE LIKE THIS

Hi i am policywonk and I'm here at the G20 for Mumsnet #g20voice

doesn't matter about hte case

KayHarkerIsPlayingWithMitchell · 01/04/2009 12:48

Go on, PW, you're a young blogger!

Youch, this is probably the wrong thread to say it, but how flaming introspective is it to be discussing the worth of blogging?

AlistairSimnelcake · 01/04/2009 12:49

Ooohhh...you're purty.

I like to keep my finger on the pulse of important matters, clearly.

policywonk · 01/04/2009 12:49

Have twitted. Does that tag work?

OP posts:
MakeHayNotWar · 01/04/2009 12:49

The chair is a bit rubbish isn't she?

ingles2 · 01/04/2009 12:49

Absolutely Kay

KayHarkerIsPlayingWithMitchell · 01/04/2009 12:50

'The roles and engagement process with our followers'?

Oh my goodness.

gizmo · 01/04/2009 12:50

Ah, good. Will find it.

policywonk · 01/04/2009 12:50

Yes, talking about blogging is crap

OP posts:
ingles2 · 01/04/2009 12:50

Who is the chair?

'On one side of the digital divide'.

Oh how ball-achingly with it. Yikes.

Thank you all very much for the compliments. However, I've been on here long enough to know that you have to have a face like a bag of spanners to be called anything other than 'pretty' on here

Just like no one ever says 'I've looked at your profile - your DS1 hit every branch on the ugly tree, didn't he?' (I dared JeremyVile to post that once but she bloody didn't)

OK am I really lagging I'm heaing Daniel from Huffpost grandstanding.

CHAIR!?!
