For the past few weeks, I've been thinking about a talk I had to give last Thursday to the London Beers and Innovation meetup.

The topic of the meetup was "RSS frontiers" and I had been invited as a speaker in my capacity the developer of Deeptag, the collaboration tool I'm developing that is architected around RSS.

I've been wondering for a long time what tack to take with the talk, I've explained Deeptag many times before and the reception has varied from extreme enthusiasm to extreme confusion and most states in between.

Since I was only due to talk for 10 minutes I figured the best approach would be to talk about the problems that I engineered Deeptag to solve - its benefits.

A ten minute talk on web services and XML protocols is probably not the best tack for a general audience so I figured to go with the general approach. There may be a lot of questions but far better to generate questions than stupor.

A video of the talk

Incredibly, in this modern age of video-sharing, there is actually a the entire talk is posted over at blip.tv. No need even to go that far though as thanks to blip and far more importantly, thanks to Ian Forrester who was kind enough to shoot and post the video, you can view it here and below.

The talk is chaired by Michael Nutly of New Media Age and also on the panel were Richard Edwards who spoke extremely well on his and Rob's product, ZebTab and Ivan Pope of Snipperoo who was hugely entertaining. I'm the second speaker in and in the pink shirt.
