How mobile has changed your world

Last Thursday saw over 120 people pile into the Bench Bar at Surrey Sports Park to listen to Jon Bishop (@jonin60seconds), Head of Social Media at PayPal UK, talk about how mobile is changing our world. Jon delivered a fascinating and engaging talk that sparked an array of conversations both on and offline. Discussing mobile innovation in Africa (streets ahead!), the London riots and how communities have changed, Jon’s presentation was filled with thought-provoking facts, figures and topics. Jon has kindly shared his presentation online, so if you missed it, you can view it here: How mobile has changed your world On the evening we heard from our sponsors, CallMasterMobile (@callmastermob), who very generously provided everyone with a welcome drink – very much appreciated by the whole community!

Callmaster Mobile looks into the future

Guest blog from Thom Gibbons, Callmaster Mobile Mango, 4G, NFC, OS X Lion… It seems that every time you fire up your PC/Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone or maybe do something strange like purchase and read a hard copy newspaper, we are told of a new mobile technology. One that is set to launch us head first into the sort of future we saw in the film Minority Report. It can be tough to keep up and work out which bits are relevant to us. What do we really need to know? And which parts can we leave to our esteemed colleagues in IT to research, plan, lay out and assemble like a new Lego set on Christmas morning? What better way to learn than by coming along to the next Digital Surrey event on the 29 September? Callmaster Mobile is delighted to sponsor the evening and Jon Bishop from Paypal UK (@jonin60seconds) will hopefully tell us about what...

Photography and Social Media at Canon

Canon’s impressive offices in Reigate were the venue for yesterday’s Digital Surrey event. Once again we had a great crowd, full of new as well as familiar faces who joined us to check out some of Canon’s latest kit and listen to a fascinating talk from Professor David Frohlich: ‘From snapshots to social media: the changing face of photography.’ The #digitalsurrey Twitter stream was extremely active throughout David’s talk. Here’s a quick snapshot of some of the key points that were raised: @AbigailH :Innovation = new ideas that work. Mulgan 2007 @DavidPGiles: Three values of snapshots: identity, memory and communication < ‘social objects’ as @gapingvoid puts it @JamesFirth: Moo is nothing new! 1850: Cartes-de-viste – business-card sized portrait to leave.

Social Media Strategy

This article was originally published on Real Business. Real Business has teamed up with Like Minds for a masterclass on developing social businesses. Here’s a flavour. When it comes to starting social media activity in a business, there’s often a very clear temptation to immediately “join the conversation” and “get engaged” with customers. Everybody else is doing it aren’t they, and tools like a blog, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook are all free to use, right? So what could possibly be the harm in starting a blog, getting a marketing intern to tweet, or getting your PR agency to set up a Facebook page, while you get on with the real issues of managing your business? Well, therein lies the crux of the matter. Conventional advice for starting in social media goes along the lines of listening to what your audiences...
