Mix UK using social networking tool

I registered for Mix:UK a few weeks ago and today got an email from the Mix team about a social networking tool they are using to help people make the most of the conference.

They are using backnetwork, which allows creation of profiles, blogging, photos, adding friends / colleagues etc (all the usual social networking stuff). It also allows you to add any colleagues / friends automagically from any previous backnetwork events you have been to.

 This is certainly a step in the right direction, but it’s missing an ‘auto-suggest relationship’ feature that could analyze your profile (or tags) and suggest other people who have similar interests.

So… my profile is here, anyone interested in any of my tags feel free to contact me and set up a meeting/chat/lunch/coffee/whatever…
