The issue covered: Twitter search (the acquisition of Summize), ARGs, Skype, public data re-use policy, location-based services. And, there was a link ...

The programme (download pdf) has over 200 sessions in 15 parallel streams running from about 0900 - 2100. From an educational perspective this is somewhere in the formal/informal learning axis.
