How do I do more than simply twitch in the wind?

Ahead of tonight's Social Media Week Off the Page, I thought I'd re-share Tom Chatfield's brilliant "philosophical mood music" for the Mobile Culture edition in the summer.

"How do I take back control?" Tom asked us, "How do I do more than simply twitch in the wind?"

Rage Against the Machine might have had the answer to this back in the pre-social media world of 1992, but it's funny how, in an age of self-empowered publishing, we now need to ask ourselves this question. As the number of mobile phones on the planet overtakes the increasing number of human beings, the cacophony of content can often seem overwhelming. Navigating and curating this avalanche of information becomes the key to making the most of the opportunity that it offers. Tonight's presentations should hopefully provide some insight into how this might be achieved.

If you can't make it, the good news is that you can watch past presentations from Four Colman Getty's Off the Page here instead.
