The best till last at dConstruct
Well it was definately a case of leaving the best till last at dconstruct today. The final session kicked off with a dopplr double act from Matt Biddulph & Matt Jones, two of the main players at travel focussed app/network Dopplr.
With a great blend of jokes and retro tv videos this was entertaining while still being informative Looking at extending the boundries of your app by identifying and utilisng cross overs with other applications, this was definately the highlight of the conference for me.
The final slot fell to Jeremy Keith from Clearleft, the conference organisers. Usually this session would see a conference slowly emptying as people head off for an early train home. However Jeremy’s reputation went before him and the auditorium sat gripped as he took us on an in depth exploration of the system of the world and how the behaviours of ant colonies and bee hives can be mapped to human interaction. Countless examples demonstrated the sense of the masses and like many in the audience, I was left with much to ponder.
All in all a great conference, with a good list of speakers covering a variety of topics around the social web. Highlights were Jeremy’s and Josh’s presentations but the top award definately goes to “the boys from Dopplr”. Now it’s onto the post conference party before a very early train home tomorrow.
And blogging on the iPhone? Well its pretty straight forward and after a sluggish start I really got into it. Given the choice then a laptop would have been a far easier option but if you have the patience to type with one finger then the iPhone is a definate option.
Twitter and micro-blogging still remains my communication mechanism of choice, although whether that says more about my patience and attention span I do not know.
Got something to add?
Why not join the discussion and have your say?
