Manchester’s Contact Theatre provided the home this week for a fascinating concoction of ideas, philosophies and latest trends in the form of the Social Technologies Summit.
Billed as “the place where the technology and digital sectors connect with the creative vision of the international digital arts community”, it showcased new ideas in everything from mobile technology to the semantic web.
It was certainly an inspirational place to be, brimming with tantalising indications of the way social media technologies are – and in some cases should be – changing the way businesses and individuals operate.
Tom Ilube, the CEO of Garlik and founder of Egg, repeated Sir Tim Berners-Lee’s suggestion that despite the web now containing over a trillion pages, we are only at the tip of the iceberg, and judging by the Social Technologies Summit, it’s impossible to disagree.
