"Thanks Jo! :-) Trying to reign in my online activity to make it worthwhile and inclusive to research (especially now it is full time, need to make the distinction!)" - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

Watched this. Noted that at around 34:30, the video skips back to the start and repeats itself.... - Graham Steel

"I'll be there - looking forward to hearing about what Cameron is up to in person." - Jo Badge

"I went into it. But there was no corn to harvest - and I couldn't get hair shade just right. I'm fickle. I'm trying to see what it does that can't be done using something else, need to have an experiment when you are free." - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

"I think I was about to grind to a halt with the current PhD - this situation works out for everyone (and I'm already planning projects with others, and it is only in the first week, rather sitting around on my own like I did most the time in Leicester, more to do with blending of research interests, rather than feeling like I'm dragging people into places they don't like.) Hopefully we'll get the chance to catch up at another BSMC (or something else in the area) :-)" - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

"Thanks love - trying to switch my mindset from looking for stuff to do that relevant - to actually making the time to think. It's all very exciting and I'm glad I get to spend time in Scotland again! :-) x" - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

"Thanks! Been bursting to tell everyone but I've had to be careful with how much I shared etc - especially when I didn't know if it would be this semester, or next. It's been a tentative 2 months (probably aiding my frustration at the rest of the research/social media world!) The knot in my stomach has gone so that's got to be a good thing!" - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

"LOL - I know. I am crap at keeping things quiet when I'm offline - it's been really frustrating not being able to talk about it (or my work at that!), but now all loose ends are tied with Leicester, I can actually start getting going with stuff. Seems like madness this morning, but when we've got spare moment we can start to plot ways in order to take over the world. 5 year plan innit. ;-)" - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

"I have no problem with Second Life. I have a problem reading about how much money is spent (wasted) on something that can only be introduced to PHD STUDENTS through the medium of physical supervision (i.e. someone needs to watch them on the computers while they use it incase they violate ITS rules and regulations) I think you should do a study of second life researchers in education. Stats on how many of them use it beyond the work place, how many teach (successfully) using it - and some interviews measuring the discourse of defense when talking about their magical wurld." - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

A forum for contributors and readers of the forthcoming book "The Mobile Audience" by Martin Rieser. It covers a history of wirefree art from gallery to public spaces. Mobile works based on locative technologies, wearables, wifi and 3G are examined from the viewpoint of audience. - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

"Yes, I think I will. Thanks for your comment!" - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

"Hi Maxine - thanks for your comment. Correct, it is easy to criticise (especially online) but when you are at an event, tweeting under your own name, it should be just as easy to challenge - in the break, on the twitter fall (low barrier to entry and all that) - I doubt I can impress you, as I'm not in your field nor have the experience to challenge in that way(although was very interested in your panel about scientific dissemination - which I did write about briefly in the live blog) - this is something that I don't know much about, but from communicating with several science academics and librarians (and following Ben Goldacre's work) I have a developed an interest in the debate. I'm not qualified enough to really have much to say on that. Will keep following however, in particular anything about open access. Having put on my own social media topic seminar(http://usesandabuses.wordpress.com http://usesandabuses.pbworks.com) - I completely understand how hard and challenging it is to..." - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

"Yeah exactly. If we talked about going to the pub with similar grandeur, we'd all be laughed at. It *can* be incredibly superficial (as a topic) when there isn't any substance to it. It's not hard to add some, just need to case study a tiny little bit of it and then we could actually compare it to other things. Having a bunch of "experts" sitting around on panels, all of which pretty much agreeing with each other, does not maketh a conference. I assume that most people there weren't present for a social media circle jerk (pardon my expression, but I can't think of anything else to describe Friday) People went to learn something new about the subject that has been dominating mass media for the last year or so. I doubt many got much from it - and I betcha that any one of the panel would have been far more interesting if they were asked to present something a little most substantial about their interests or backgrounds. There were too many people asking "how do we make money?" - well,..." - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

"Yeah completely agree. I'm disheartened that I'm only 10 months into this and I've managed to become this cynical. I was expecting at least a year before I started wanting to scream during a conference! ;-)" - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

"Thanks for your kind words. It's hard to be open about things like this when you have the Guardian saying the complete opposite (were we at the same event?) - I think you may like this post about the hashtag (http://bit.ly/325lsU) , and Brian Kelly's interesting observations about the lack of social activities pre and post event. Heard a lot of good things about Kara Swisher's discussion (I'm assuming because she didn't get wishy washy or fluffy with the details) - I wish I'd have seen it, but you'd have never got me in a session on corporate blogging from the first impressions (been there, done that - biggest problem, I feel, is trying to get your colleagues on board, and that's enough to put a plug in it) But then again, I didn't learn anything new from the sessions I did choose to go to, so I'd have probably been better off sticking a pin in the programme and picking something random! I'm glad I went - gives me an idea what to do differently. And it won't take much to try something..." - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

All over the place because I decided to go and get coffee instead of be on time for the keynote. Packed lecture theatre. First panel: From Weblogs to Twitter: blah de blah de blah. First thing speaker does is in the morning look at technorati - retro. - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

Laptop died - resorted to tweeting comments. Will add to this in the morning and blog about it in further depth. - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

"Yeah I agree. It can't be resisted for much longer. As city projects begin to grow outwards and beyond their initial concepts, it won't be long before the smaller towns, villages and communities will have their chance to shine. Anything to make living outside the big smoke as engaging as it can be!" - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

"Hi Lloyd, thanks for taking the time to respond! I took a lot from the day - and I hope it is a starter for attending more frequent things in London - I know this is very much a personal reflection on my part - and I hoped to document exactly how I was feeling, at the time, in order to remind myself of those "first day of school" moments. In terms of research, these are the moments that can be brushed aside pretty quickly as time goes on, so I wanted to make sure I captured it without hurting or treading on other people's toes. I would very much like to continue this conversation - and in retrospect, I think attending a straight-up Tuttle would have been a better place to start. Hopefully we can watch this grow organically over time. (And currently I'm a a stage where I'm not quite ready to share PhD stuff online - due to some moving around and rejigging, I'm chomping at the bit to add more context to the proceedings!) Thanks! :-)" - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

And we begin. Alan Patrick (@freecloud) introducing the event and basic housekeeping. Little video from TED's Chris Anderson. - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

Well - it was an experience. And there was some good and bad points. I'm interested in attending tuttle - and I already follow the blogs/twitter of those who involved. - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

"Oh yes, looking forward to winter coats and getting to wear my new pink beret! :-D I don't even bother looking at things that are going to cost more than 50 quid. I always seem to get emails from my department to attend £3000 summer schools in different countries - not including travel costs. Considering that would allow me money to live on and not worry for a few months, I doubt i'd ever consider it. There are plenty of interesting and engaging people on the Internet to get me by for now. (Academic jollies are off the cards when you are looking at unconferences as part of your research...) >.<" - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

"Won't be useful for you (because it is a mobile app for android :-D) but Twidroid have just launched an upgraded with multiple account management - it is actually really good, one touch and you are tweeting from different accounts (without logging out, and it notifies you when you change account). My point is that perhaps other applications are beginning to think about this multiple Twitter account/identity dilemma." - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

"hear hear!" - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

Abstract Transliteracy might provide a unifying perspective on what it means to be literate in the twenty–first century. It is not a new behavior but has only been identified as a working concept since the Internet generated new ways of thinking about human communication. This article defines transliteracy as “the ability to read, write and interact across a range of platforms, tools and media from signing and orality through handwriting, print, TV, radio and film, to digital social networks” and opens the debate with examples from history, orality, philosophy, literature, and ethnography. - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

Finally - some sense! - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

Also known as how to mess up coding and forget about rigour when conducting social media research. Check out the comments. - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones

I may be British and therefore sarcasm is our only form of communication, but don't try it. It's not worth it. Some day they will invent HTML <tags> I can use to denote sarcasm, but until that day I will bite my viper tongue and I suggest you do too. - CannonGod

I don't know what happened but I can guess. Don't worry too much about it. People who know you, *know* it wasn't malicious. - Jennifer Mackenzie Jones from Android
