I do feel we are on to something here, but also conscious that I have lots to learn on producing video and other content that works both for people at the event, and others. I'll be in touch. Maybe we need a Talkaoke on the subject .... Saul – thanks for that encouragement and interest.

Working with Talkaoke for the last five years, I've noticed that the 'social reporting' element - adding to the documentation and visibility of discussions and themes of events we augment is a highly valuable - but poorly understood - process. Our experience of documenting Social Innovation Camp was an object lesson in the value of this kind of work. I think there's a lot of mileage in developing the techniques and technologies of social reporting (there are significant technical challenges to producing blog-ready video/audio in a single, spontaneous take) - and I'm eager to help with that and feed in ideas and experiences from The People Speak. Cheers, Saul. Hi David,

People may respond to the opportunity to tell peope not in the room about what they are doing. I'm finding it easier to get informal clips using a mobile phone ... Nokia N82 plus streaming to http://qik.com Some examples here http://qik.com/socialreporter. How about we organise an experimental session?

I'm keen to introduce some of this social reporting stuff into the Third Sector Foresight events that we run. I have located a video camera to borrow from elsewhere in the building so now we just have to dive in and give it a go! Any tips about how to put people who do 'not expect to have video cameras thrust into their face' (as you put it) at ease, and get good stuff? Megan Hi David

As always the key issue is to agree who you are doing it for ... and I hope I would be clearer about that in future. It feels like it is a bit of balancing act between organisers and participants - whose preferences and requirements should be respected - and others who could not attend, and might value some analysis as well as reportage. Maybe the way through that is to agree with those at the event that the social reporter's role is to help them reach out to a wider audience, hopefully participatively. More facilitative than standard reporting. Thanks Laura – that’s really encouraging. As always the key issue is to agree who you are doing it for … and I hope I would be clearer about that in future.

It helped convey what the conversation was all about, and importantly about the people participating too. I really hope to see more of this in the future. It really is needed on so many levels; not just for those that can't attend an event, nor just for the outcomes achieved from an event, but it's the people part that was captured which is important. A job well done, and the journey of your and Dave Briggs' learnings very valuable too. Would be good to see the building in of social reporting into the conference planning over here, at early stages of event planning stages to enable even more impact. Keep it up... inpspired and enthused to see how this all evolves! Laura David, I really feel that you and Dave did a sterling job on all of this.
