Introduction by Christine Perey, lunch, panel discussion and participants
Together with Marcus I participated in an Informa conference with the title ‚Mobile Communities & User Generated Content, Determine the Impact of Community Services and User Generated Content on Your Business‘ at Kingsway Hall Hotel in London. There were some very thrilling presentations, e.g. from Orange UK and Yahoo!, and we also had an interesting chat with Christine Perey the mobile industry.
