Just a quick reminder that there will be a social media cafe tonight in Derby.
So, if you do digital in or around Derby and fancy a coffee and chat with other people that do it too come along to the cafe bar at Quad from 6.30pm.
It’s all very informal so there is no agenda – all we ask is that you don’t directly pitch your services to people attending but rather come along and talk about industry issues or opportunities to collaborate. If you’re a non-profit or community group then there will be people at the cafe who can offer you advice on how to use social media and digital too – although again, this is very informal and not an organised social media surgery!
I’m looking forward to seeing lots of you tonight (and hopefully the cafe will become a more regular event again too)!
And if you do do digital in Derbyshire here are a couple of things I spotted which I thought you might be interested in:
Derbyshire Broadband Survey
Derbyshire County Council have two surveys open for residents and businesses to share their experience of internet and broadband in the county.
You can take the survey/s on their website and the information will be used to gauge demand for broadband as well as the current level of provision.
Might be five minutes well spent if you think broadband could be better for your home or business in Derbyshire.
Take the survey on the Derbyshire County Council website.
Page One: A Year Inside the New York Times (15)
This film, documenting a year behind the scenes at the newspaper, will be showing at Quad 21 – 23 October 2011 and shows their media desk correspondent covering the advances which may make print obsolete.
Looks interesting if you’re interested in the past, present or future of journalism and the media.
More info on the Quad website about Page One.
