Hi all,

My name is Nicola Osborne and I am the Social Media Officer for EDINA.

I share my colleague Ben Butchart's interest in mobile and geo 
possibilities but my role connects to colleagues across the various 
interest areas at EDINA - multimedia projects, repositories, middleware 
etc. - I am also interested in the broader aspect of how mobile 
interfaces, apps, etc. can enhance and complement services (and 
projects) and what impact it has on usage and user experience. I'm also 
interested in how mobile apps and activities relate to social media 
functionality and services.

Good to meet you all,
Nicola.
