Re: [backstage] Wealth of Networks event, next Thursday at Imperial College
Good point about Qik being closed loop. We were looking into setting up a Backchannel at one stage - let me see where we are with that, and I'll pass on the link. Also feel free to e-mail me or DM Wealthofnetwork on Twitter with any questions that you have and I'll get them asked...

Re: [backstage] Wealth of Networks event, next Thursday at Imperial College
That would have been a really good idea - especially as it is meant to cover the nation - but I'm afraid that we have nothing set up for it. I will be twittering, as I suspect others will as well, so be sure to follow #wealthofnetworks ; and I wouldn't be surprised if there was some Qik coverage as well. I'll post all of the blog links that cover the event after the fact on the Wealth of Networks blog, so at least you can read up on it afterwards.
