Webcast videos
We are gradually working our way through the 20 hours of tape and DVD from sessions in the theatre and gym to produce videos from the webcasts. You'll find the opening sessions, the Spectator debate and JP on Cluetrain + 10 over here.
In addition, George Por is suggesting a co-designed event Lead2Innovate4Change here

This is where the story really begins...
My thanks to Steve Moore and all the folk at Channel 4 for making this event possible. It was a great opportunity to meet a lot of interesting and talented individuals. Will be following developments with interest, and pitching in if I see something I can help with (especially anything to do with developing virtual communities of practice). Looking forward to the next steps....whatever they are!
Steve Dale:
I think that Crowdvine has served a purpose in bringing people and conversations together in preparation for the 2gether08 event, and as a record of the event itself, but I don't get sense of community purpose here. Maybe that's not the intention though - i.e. more of a place to dip in and out of fairly transient conversations and to keep in touch. The videos will serve to provide a more compelling, dynamic and accurate record of the event than the published word or spoken anecdotes, so yes, there is some potential to use them to ensure that conversations continue. From a personal perspective, I'm left slightly confused as to what is now expected of the participants, other than to follow up on any personal connections made at the event. Perhaps it's just me, but I don't yet feel that the whole has been greater than the sum of the parts. I guess we all have a duty in that respect though - wisdom of crowds etc.
David Wilcox:
Steve - I'll be chatting to Steve Moore and the rest of the team about "what's next", and I know there will be more than 2gether09 in mind. However, the spirit of 2gether08 has been co-creation, so it is substantially a matter of what we want to make of connections and content so far. Wearing a social reporter hat, I'm interested in the appropriate nature of light-touch animation at this stage. I may say more later ...
David Wilcox:
Steve - all
Steve Moore has posted thoughts on what's next for 2gether08 on the main site, inviting ideas. I've pitched in with "open franchise".

Just use Social Networks, don't ban them
It is cool to see that my argument that I gave at the thumbs up/down session ("You don't need a web site, you need a good facebook presence") is actually now backed up by Gartner research: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology...

Creating a 'Happiness Centre'
I saw a few people tagging "happiness" at the conference. If that was any of you, and you'd be interested in chatting more about a SE we're starting up to give people some tools and an experience that helps them start living a better life, get in touch.
People say happiness isn't something you can chase. True, but it's something that can be at the centre of your life's decisions, can guide you to making your life better.

Great event
The best 2.0 event i have been to. And i've been to a diverse managerie of ideas, get togethers, mash-ups and conferences.
2Gether managed entertaining, high octane quality. And that can be a rare thing as far as Andrew Keen's 'cult of the amateur' goes.
I cannot thank everyone involved with setting this up enough for letting me be part of it. And i look forward to future debates, discussions and diversions :-)

That was a right laugh; thanks to the organisers for making it happen, and the participants for rolling up their sleeves and getting on with the serious business of meeting up, sharing ideas, learning from eachother and all that stuff.
I will be posting a brief review of the live tag surfing lessons learnt in due course over on my blog, which I will cc here.
Enjoy your weekends, all!

Day 2
Well another great day. Top marks for the ice cream on the roof, Oli's Catalist awards, Michelle's interviewing (a star in the making), Mark's session which flagged up the need to be both smarter in our thinking and less nuanced in our delivery, and of course Big XXX Steve.
My apologies to those who I did not get to meet and even bigger apologies to those I did :)
Roll on 2gether09!

How to use Twitter
Hi all - we'll be using the messaging system Twitter throughout 2gether08 ... which you can follow on your laptop or phone.
If you aren't familiar with Twitter, here's some instructions.
Please use the tag #2gether08 in messages (the instructions explain that ... you need to follow http://twitter.com/hashtags for that to work).

Even as a big fan of nanoformats such as the hashtags, I wouldn't expect everyone to use them. The summize page will catch most all tweets which include the text "2gether08":

doing what government cant and shouldnt have to. Doing what people can do better than government. Letting government focus on what its good at. Liberating government from trying to be all things to all people. Social media can finally prove that there is such a thing as society.

Carrying the flag for people visiting prisons...
There are a few of us at 2gether08 this week who met for the first time at Social Innovation Camp (for which I can't praise highly enough).
At the camp, a group of us came together to see if it was possible to use the web to change peoples experiences of visiting someone in prison. After two days of discussion, building a prototype and claiming second prize, the answer was a resounding YES!
Amongst other things, I am at 2gether08 in hop...... [read more]
