The real-time internet has and will continue to cause disruptive shifts in our lifestyles. Not only is it affecting how business is being conducted, it has also greatly impacted day to day processes and communication. Recent disaster reporting and resultant humanitarian missions have been centred along the real-time internet as in the case of the Haiti and Chile earthquakes and the post election crises in Kenya.The real-time web has exponentially democratised information production and consumption. During the Iranian election crises, the world was informed of the happenings in Iran and vice-versa despite an information blackout imposed by the ruling elite. The web is inherently social, and the real-time web connects like minded people in an instant. The Obama campaign was pretty much influences and energised by the real-time web. At this #140conf meetup we'll have some of Kenya's leading faces on the real-time web enlightening us and exchanging ideas on how we can add value to our country via the real-time web. The theme for this meetup is 'Social Causes on The Real Time Web' and will feature leading social media gurus in the .ke scene such as Juliana Rotich (@afromusing), Paula Kahumbu (@paulakahumbu), Marvin Tumbo (@marvintumbo) and Victor Ngeny (@ngeny). It'll definitely be a great networking and idea sharing forum
