I made a few notes in realtime of the #media140 gathering on 8 October.\u00a0 Ande says he brought together the UK press and media in May to talk about the impact of Twitter on the media and to raise money for Mencap.\u00a0 He seems to have hit on a big theme and is surprised by how it’s taken off.<\/p>\n

“It’s grown organically and it’s bigger than I ever thought it would be”<\/p>\n

Looking at about 10,000 uniques in 37 days.\u00a0 Ande is going through the Media140 team and talking about the way he’s working with the team and how the blog is working.<\/p>\n

Ande says we want to bring together people from across different industries to look at the impact of the social web especially realtime media – and Twitter is very important.<\/p>\n

Ande is talking about how rapidly the idea has developed and it’s spread internationally – to Bangalore and Sidney; not what he expected he started it up in May.<\/p>\n

Mark Rock from Audioboo gets a mention.\u00a0 Stuart from Sun – a generally good egg (www.sun.com\/startups).<\/p>\n

Sees Audioboo as a re-invention of radio news designed for a world enabled by Twitter.\u00a0 It’s about trust.\u00a0 Audioboo is a tool to promote trust and authenticity.<\/p>\n
