Future Focus London… and WordPress

I attended the Future Focus event hosted by the Telegraph Business Club and IBM yesterday. Not surprisingly, one of the themes was DIY media, blogging, twittering and using social media. Twitter was monitored through the day and descriptions of the event were put up on the Future Focus blog as it happened. The url of the blog was given in the event and I looked it up today. I was most impressed to find that the blog is hosted here at WordPress.
Another theme was that of cloud computing. I was trying to think of cloud computing services which I use in my working day and I could only come up with this blog and Google Analytics. So well done, WordPress does it again!

Maybe Retail Answers could benefit from using the cloud a bit more? Or should we market our retail intranet Rapid as a cloud service?

By the way, the best bit of the event was the live voting on topics such as when will the recession end using hand held terminals and the results being displayed on screen immediately afterwards. It was great to have the interaction.
