My Social Journey is all about how I came to be offering training and consultancy in Social Media and how it emerged from internal social business systems and technology.

2. Me
• Owner Uniti Solutions Ltd (18 years)

• Microsoft SharePoint
• Microsoft Office 365
• Microsoft Yammer
• IBM Collaboration Solutions
3. How far have we come……
Let’s face it – communication was hard in those days…………….
“The tools we use to
communicate shape the
very foundations of
culture, society and
business: how we
innovate, how we solve
problems, how we
organize and how we act.
Continued innovation is
key to continued
progress.” Ray Ozzie -

4. My travelling days were many
Communication with the outside was hard.
Never worked and WHO was
Listening….
Only for the privileged
minority like the military…
5. Email – a major breakthough
Major tech companies pioneers alike provided email systems to cross
boundaries.
Evolution: IBM Verse, Microsoft Clutter, Google Inbox
6. Facebook grew and grew – giving birth to
many other social media platforms
It became a way for me to stay
connected to friends and family even
though I was miles away. Sometime
but not always in exotic locations.

was hooked.

10. How many messages / posts / tweets can you
handle
• All at once it seemed I was spending most of my journeys switching
from social network to social network – some well known and some
were private
In a frenzy, which was all of
my own making – I began to
search for ways of
managing my increasing
social media addiction.
I tried Tweetdeck

Editor's Notes
And through my inbox popped a 3 week training course to deliver in the Maldives.
As I followed more and more people
Exeter – floods. Tower – inspiring moment. Now with Twitter – able to create a 30 second video and share with the world instantly.
