Last night saw the latest meeting of Manchester’s Social Media Cafe. We kicked off with a talk from Mario Cacciotolo of Someone Once Told Me who traveled up from London to tell us about how his cult site came about. Mario also took some photos for a ‘Manchester Week’ on Someone Once Told Me. Many thanks to Mario for making the journey.

After that it was on to the ‘Unconference’ sessions. I did a presentation about ‘Creating and Sharing with a Mobile Phone’. I was a little worried that it would be a bit too much like preaching to the converted but the people there, including journalists and academics, seemed to enjoy my introduction to services like Shozu, Qik and Google Latitude. We also got on to talking about the ethics of mobile video broadcasting – something I’ve discussed here before.

I created my presentation with Google Docs and you can view the whole thing here. Feel free to post comments and questions below.

Also, Sarah Hartley from the Manchester Evening News streamed bits of my presentation using Qik, including this bit – about Qik, funnily enough.
