Ian Delaney

Hello. My name is Ian Delaney. I’m a journalist/community/events/training guy based in London.

I’ve most recently been the publisher (chief cook and bottle-washer) of NMK, a site and network for people who work in the digital economy. It’s owned and funded by the University of Westminster, but is not horrid and creepy – its purpose is philanthropic. To share knowledge across the industry.

I launched and edited a magazine called ICT for Education. And then before that I launched and edited What Laptop, and before that I was a teacher.

I got interested in this space a long time ago and then it all got professional in May 2006 when I was commissioned to write a (subsequently cancelled) book about what we were calling  ‘web 2.0′ and I started this blog by collating some of the useful bits and pieces I found. Then people started reading for some reason. If you have opinions, product launches to announce or would like some advice on this stuff, then do please leave a comment or drop me an email.

Contact me on Twitter, using the form below or through normal email – delaneydotian at gmaildotcom. Find out more about me on Linked-In.

In case you were wondering, the site’s name – when I registered it in 2006 – was intended to be pronounced ‘two-point-ouch’, but playing on ‘2.zero’ and ‘in-touch’. It was a rather rushed decision, in retrospect.

We’re a few years on now from the everything-2.0 craze, but for the purposes of this site, I unilaterally declare that web 2.0 will always mean ‘the next generation of the web’, a bit like ‘new media’ is potentially always new media, not just web stuff.
