Jon Spriggs, Introducing Microblogging (Identi.ca, Open Microblogging, Laconica and even Twitter!) – 16th June

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

This month’s talk will be given by Jon “The Nice Guy” Spriggs. He will be talking about Microblogging (uBlogging), specifically citing Identi.ca and Twitter, some of the conventions used in microblogging, microblogging services and how you can use microblogging in your projects and social networks. He’ll then open the floor to questions.

Jon can be found on identi.ca at http://identi.ca/jontheniceguy, so feel free say ‘hello’ to him!

The meeting will take place at the usual time, 7pm, at the Lass O’Gowrie pub on Charles Street in Central Manchester. We will be located in the Salmon Room upstairs, although there will be people around a little earlier downstairs(probably sampling the food and drinks on offer). Just ask at the bar if you can’t find us. Their website has full details of how to get there and the fine selection of food and drink available. The venue also provides wifi.
General information about Manchester Free Software meetings can be found on our meetings page.

If you would like five minutes to tell us about something, please contact us.
