Last night I went to the Soho Theatre in London for Justin Bond's cabaret show called Lustre.
I had no idea what to expect because it was the first time I've ever been to a cabaret show.
Coincidentally… this would also be my first time to a theatre show in London.
On the whole, it was great. The [...]

Stephen Johnson’s talk The Urban Web was quite interesting.
While I find that his product, outside.in is quite good, I did feel that much of the talk sounded like a sales pitch.
Let’s hope the rest of the day focuses more on new developments / technologies in the social media industry.
