Rucku Will Carling
After a great day at Microsoft Search Summit yesterday, I ended up having dinner with Will Carling ( @willcarling )who could have been quite a good Scottish rugby player apparently and who really just talks bollocks most of the time 
, but he is spot on with his views on social media. Twitter has allowed fans to hear Will’s real voice, unedited, not taken out of context. He admits that he doesn’t know anything technical about websites, so step up to the plate Dave Tosh (@davetosh ) of Elgg : a powerful, professional open source social engine.
BTW elgg.com are looking for developers, so hit Dave up on twitter. Between them they have created Rucku.com branded as a virtual club. Will has done a great job at building a community, crap job on Seo but I’m going to send DaveT some pointers, so that the ever professional Mr. Carling seen here making me laugh and spoiling the first Photo can get some awesome traffic.
at least he didn’t mess the second one up … dick!
I would also like to thank Mel Carson for a great event and awesome dinner.

I was lucky enough to be seated ‘on high’ next to Mel and we enjoyed hearing stories all evening about the Welsh on tour from Will. We also met the tech guy, Dave Tosh who is behind Will’s rugby social networking site rucku. As DaveN wrote, it was good to hear about the celebrity benefits of twitter whereby guys like Will Carling can speak directly to the public without a publicist in the way. [...]
