I’m currently working on digital media production and delivery and all things WEB2.0 covering podcasts, rss, blogs, web tv development, online networks and social media strategy etc. This network is dedicated to sharing good practice and information on topics covering: media, creative technology film, video, new media, web 2.0, mobile and social media. Due to the convergent forms of media, marketing and technology coming together. It makes sense for any to leverage and optimise the best way to market, self promote, network, collaborate both on and offline. There will be an accompanying blog for events and knowledge, advice and information sharing.
