It was post-it notes at dawn for the inaugural Social Innovation Camp in London last weekend. An ‘unconference,’ the camp brought together teams of web 2.0 geeks and other bright young things to compete in “an experiment in using social technology for social change.” In fact there was stiff competition to even get in the front door of hosts, the Young Foundation. Participants were pre-selected by the quality and potential of their ideas. The camp’s website collects some brilliant ideas for social change using social software and the like, including the winner: Enabled by Design.
