This week (this very one happening right now) is Social Media Week London 2012. Somehow, having had a gross cold (come find me later at the Closing Party) I missed a lot of the social good events, and ended up in the corporate ones.

This immediately made me think of Netmums users. In Unilever’s new offices you probably won’t get your own desk. It’s all highly progressive stuff. From Nokia and Kraft I learned that I could probably help them with a thing or two on the social media front but probably wouldn’t because I don’t want to work at Nokia or Kraft.
