Life in a London Start Up
In: Technology Blog
23 Oct 2008It’s been an incredibly hectic week that sort of peaked last night with a super late night at the office. But on Tuesday I had a chance to go to a very interesting lecture at the Institute for Contemporary Art called Googleworld. I’ve done a full write up on Spoonfed.
Tonight, it seems, I’ll be present for the foretelling of the end of society as we know it. I’m learning of our decent into an Orwellian future where our every move and thought is read and recorded. The cause of our downfall, and the subject of tonight’s lecture, ‘Googleworld’, at the ICA is none other than Google, which, despite a cuddly logo and a name two letters away from ‘giggle’, is poised to control the world.
Meaghan Fitzgerald is an American ex-pat now living in London, UK and working for tech start up Spoonfed Media as director of marketing. While The Top Floor Flat initially covered London sites and scenes, European travel and recollections on living abroad, more recent articles focus on start ups, business, technology and marketing.

Wow. I don’t know what to say. My fear is I may write something that seems innocent or unharmful, but may be misconstrued by someone else reading it. What are your thoughts of the lecture? It really is an important issue to think and discuss about. Thanks for sharing.
