I did a little talk at the MeetDraw Presents Silicon Beach conference last week in Bournemouth. It was a lot of fun and I met loads of great people including @matlock, @nicoleyershon, @GregHadfield, @somnesia and @stevebuzzpearce.

I am liking the idea of 'Meta-products'. What is a meta-product? The best  examples are Nike+, the fabulously daft Nabaztag and, more recently, Alertme. Generally speaking they're physical objects, rooted in networked technology that are driven by mobile and web services. There is nothing new about this idea, it's roots are well established in many sci-fi and computer science paradigms like ubiquitous computing, pervasive computing or more broadly the Internet of Things.
