The Workshop’s long-running Design Talks series aims to promote the power of good design and provide a friendly forum for discussion among our clients, suppliers and anyone else with an interest in design and design-related matters.

Our most recent Design Talks featured Chris Thorpe, who gave us a personal take on social media and technology trends. Chris is a developer evangelist who’s worked at MySpace and The Guardian and runs Jaggeree – a social media consultancy.

In this talk, he makes unexpected links between ideas, comparing social networks to pre-industrial villages and exploring how Facebook might help tackle post-natal depression. He also talks a lot of sense.
