So for the past two days I've been sitting at my laptop in the office working away but instead of listening to the new Fabric Mix (I've got better dubstep than that. poor effort) I've been watching and listening to Le Web 3 which is in internet conference that took place in Paris. It looked great and I'd love to geek it up at Le Web but tickets cost about a grand!?! So I watched the live feed instead.

Possible the biggest insight and education on whats happening with web 2.0 todays. However it was interesting to note that podcasting wasn't talked about during the seminars in the main conference hall, is it old hat? Maybe its just in the main stream now so geeks aren't interested.

Anyway one of the most amazing discussions I've listened to this year happened between Marc Canter (Broadband Mechanics), Tariq Krim (NetVibes), Hans Peter Brondmo (Plum), Patrick Chanezon (Google) and Susan Kish (European Energy Forum). All discussing and arguing over the future of social networks, privacy issues and how these networks will hopefully start integrating to allow users to enter info once rather than 5, 10 or 20 times.

A little bird pointed my nose in the direction of this audio recording of the debate. The start is cut off but basically we enter the discussion when Google has started talking about its new open social platform which I hear will one day integrate into their open mobile platform. I can't wait!!!

Enjoy the discussion :

So this is the first blog of many on my company The Beat Delivery.

As you'll see from my profile The Beat Delivery is a new start in the fielsd of content ditribution the many wondorous facets of web 2.0 and throughout this blog I aim to explore the different projects that my company is involved in and hopefully drum up some debate on how we use such media to reach the goals of our clients.

This isn't purely meant to be a diary of what we do but more a discussion on the current usage of web 2.o to meet clients needs and expectations. Although it will probably start off as such.

Currently I am involved in content managing Radio Magnetic which is an independent internet radio station broadcasting through the means of on demand listening. The genres covered by the station are both thought provoking and cutting edge. It's currently in a state of flux since it's listenership is growing and we are currently developing to embrace new listeners and meet the demands of out already loyal fan base.

As well as this I am starting and managing an online community for an education company called TLG Education which specialises in study skills and teacher training to this effect. So far we have entered the realms of Bebo and have become quite successful compared to our peers in a very short length of time. I hope that many of you will be interested in the use of such online communities to engage their members in the subjects concerned with such clients.

The most recent project which is currently coming to an end in the new year is Trocabrahma has investigated the use of podcasts and online communities to help push the Brahma brand. Please take a look at www.trocabrahma.net and feel free to cast any light on what has been a very exciting and educational project for myself.

In the mean time I'm off to tinker with the layout of this blog and loo forward to meeting liek minded individuals involved the above areas.

Take it easy
