Jeremy Gould, Head of Internet Communication, Ministry of Justice, UK is this week's speaker. Jeremy is a track keynote speaker on day one of the conference.

Day 1: Track 1 Web 2.0 After the buzz

Q Which are the most important topics, for you personally, due to be discussed at the Online Information Conference 2008 and why?
Jeremy: I'm really keen to learn more about how business can better adopt semantic web technologies

Q Besides your own, which tracks would you recommend to delegates attending the conference?
Jeremy: search and SEO aren't the 'sexiest'; of subjects but they're vital for business, and easily overlooked in the web 2 media hype. I think there's plenty to learn there still.

Q What are you looking forward to most about participating in Online Information 2008?
Jeremy: Meeting new people!

Q If you had to choose only one - which social network would you recommend to colleagues?
Jeremy: I get more business intros through LinkedIn right now - it's become my online CV

Q And finally, just out of interest - where are you planning to spend Christmas this year?
Jeremy: West coast of Ireland.
