Pity I only managed to stay for half of the conference it was still worth my while! At the Old Mutual Business School in Pinelands, Cape Town, they had put up a nifty separate screen showing tweets from the people attending the conference with TwitterFountain – see below (try spot the spammers!)

This proved pretty useful in posting questions and just general comments during the day the one problem how ever was that #netprophet quickly rose on Twitter Trends to the Number 2 spot which was quite impressive. The problem their though is that spammers pick up on this and quickly start writing random messages or trying to promote their business and just add in the tag at the end.

Twitter definitely needs to try sort the spam out!

Some of the speakers were Arthur Goldstuck and the CEO from MXIT which both I found pretty interesting. ACtually most of the speakers were good and interesting just depends on what level of knowledge you were going there with. But was definitely a good turn out for the conference and good for South Africa in terms of the growth of our online community. Read more about the speakers here.
