DESCRIPTION
An outline of current status of social networks, an explanation of my view on why the explosive growth and finally some ridiculous but demonstrative examples of the future! This was presented to an audience of clubs, national governing bodies of sport and other sport related organisations and individuals at Channel 4 in collaboration with Sport England and as part of "All Together Now"
