I felt incredibly lucky to be able to attend the Social Technologies Summit, part of Futuresonic2009, in Manchester earlier this month.

It’s an international conference that brings together 500 opinion formers, futurologists, artists, researchers and technologist to explore digital culture and the concepts and ideas being bandied about were a bit mind blowing: the future in the digital economy, identity and trust in social networks, the pervasive mobile and environment 2.0 are just some of the themes explored in various conference sessions.

It was held over three days, and I was only able to attend for one.   But what a day it was. I sat in on some pretty lofty discussions ranging from Northern tech startups to the importance of skiving to the new cultural algorithms of the semantic webClick here to read this Tech Talk column.
