WxWM2

A week or so ago I did an impromptu talk at WxWM2 (a gathering of the social media interested) in Brum — it was very much an unconference format so I wasn’t sure I was going to say anything at all. However a slot arose and I talked for about 20 minutes about how I came to be running a “community” website — almost by accident — and how it’s important to understand the responsibilities that people who (voluntarily almost always) end up providing useful online services are taking on. Often, if there isn’t a lot of support, it can end up feeling a burden, however much the people care:

Thanks very much to Nicky Getgood for capturing as much of it as she did.
