I’m liveblogging from the POLIS and PR Newswire event, The Social Media Reality Check, at the London School of Economics. Keep refreshing this page for updates! 18:35 We’re getting underway here and I have to say the gender dominance is remarkably tilted to the feminine.

27th January, 2010 - Posted by admin - 10 Comments
