Thanks to the wonderful people at NESTA we at BaseKit were able to attend the ‘Social Media – A Force For Good’ talk as part of the ‘Silicon Valley Comes to the UK’ series of events. The talk and general discussion was from Biz Stone – one of the founders of Twitter, Reid Hoffman, social networking trendsetter and LinkedIn supremo and the UK’s foremost Twitterer – Mr Stephen Fry.

The talk itself veered wildly from the idea as social networking as a force for good, and in to the general area of what social networking means for individuals and organisations, the future of social and a discussion of the recent events that social networking has had an impact on. Insightful and entertaining it was a great event. Rather than give you all a blow by blow recap we suggest that you have a look at the video here.

We would also like to point at that from our vantage point we noticed that Stephen Fry was wearing socks that looked like shoes with laces up the front….
