Last week’s IoT13 has presented me with something of a problem: how to summarise the deluge of debate, interesting facts, novel new ideas and the occasional oddity on the stage (yes, I’m looking at your shirts, Mark). Then it struck me – surely that’s what Twitter is for?
So here it is, our pick of the days comments from Twitter (although it doesn’t seem to have adjusted to BST terribly well, rather like the weather at the moment). We’ll be posting a more detailed breakdown, session by session, as we have video and powerpoint available, but for now, here is the 27th June in your own words:
