You are a Neuron — Slides

Here are the slides from my talk this evening at Twitter Dev Nest.  It was great fun writing and delivering this talk, and thanks for the great feedback in person and over Twitter.

Speaking at Twitter Developer Nest London

24 March, 2009
6:00 pm	to	10:00 pm

I’m giving a talk at the first Twitter Developer Nest in London next Tuesday, with a talk titled You are a Neuron, on something that has been floating around in the back of the old mind for a bit.   It is less of a technical ‘how to make this’ or ‘how I made this’ developer talk, and more of a call-to-arms or provocation to developers.

I’m going to step back from Twitter and look at the whole of it.  And draw some parallels with other things in the world, like your brain.

It ought to be a bit of fun and provoke some new thinking.  I’m thinking we need to go a bit deeper with these social utilities and really think about why something like Twitter is attactive and interesting.   I’m quite sure it is not just about my friends and I having a chat.

Anyway, I’ll post slides and stuff as they come together.
