Tom Stafford likes finding things out and writing things down. Several years of doing this in the Department of Psychology at the University of Sheffield resulted in a Ph.D. Now sometimes he tells people he’s a computational cognitive neuroscientist and then talks excitedly about neural networks. Lately he’s begun talking excitedly about social networks too. As well as doing academic research, he has worked freelance, writing and working at the BBC as a documentary researcher. Things he finds interesting he puts on his web site at http://www.idiolect.org.uk .
Matt Webb is an engineer and designer, splitting his working life between R&D with BBC Radio & Music Interactive and freelance projects in the social software world. In the past, he’s made collaborative online toys, written IM bots, and run a fiction web site (archived at http://iam.upsideclown.com ); now he’s content with hacky web scripts and his weblog, Interconnected, at http://interconnected.org/home . Matt reads a little too much, likes the word “cyberspace,” lives in London, and tells his mother he’s “in computers.”
