Talking to Rebecca Caroe in the registration queue at SXSWi. She mentions the Social Media Cafe in London which is pretty much as you’d expect. Still in early days based upstairs at a pub but they have sponsorship for the rent of the space. Which got me thiking someone like The Custard Factory might be interested in providing space for this kind of thing in Birmingham giving their tenants a service and increasing the online awareness of CF. Just an idea right now, of course.
Rebecca has another blog, Creative Agency Secrets, which she’s using to track her SXSWi adventure.
I’ll be blogging ideas like this throughout SXSWi. Please do use the comments to build on them.
Hiya Pete, I know Lloyd Davis who has been heavily involved in the Social Media Cafe from the start. I’ll be happy to introduce you if you like (remind me when you get back) or just contact him directly. He’s a thoroughly nice chap and am sure will be able to offer loads of advice if you do want to take your idea further.
Hi Pete, sounds like a great idea and one I’ve already knocked around with Nick Booth & Dave Briggs. Let’s have another chat when you’re back.
Thanks to Rebecca for spreading the word and thanks to Julia for saying such nice stuff about me :)
Pete – thanks for blogging this!
Lloyd I am so gutted that I keep not quite making it down on a Friday. It’s just a bad day for me to come to London mostly. BUT I WILL COME. Again.

PS LLoyd this is what you are missing at SXSW!
just to feed your envy.
