Billed as the first microblogging event to take place in London, today we’re seeing the much talked about Media 140 event taking place in London’s South Bank. For those in front of a computer right now (ie Wednesday 20th May) the event is being streamed live here. But if you’re late to the party or on the move, we thought we’d help by reviewing views of the UK’s digerati.
The reason we were particularly interested to go along to this event amongst the many social media gigs we see put on is that it looks specifically at how the media landscape is changing in light of services like Twitter and their continuing rapid adoption. It had WIN written all over it.
So worming his way around the afternoon is Ben Matthews and he’s live tweeting his observations from the ‘front row on the right’ as well.
We’ll be updating this as the discussions develop, taking on board what we’re seeing and the speakers’ views on ‘the future of realtime news.’
