The #Open Mobile Summit 2010 in London opened today, as more than 250 influncers from the mobile, media and internet industries made their way through the doors of the sought after event. Whilst the media, GoMo News and V3 focused their attention on Andrew Gilbert’s keynote on ‘connected things’, we took a look at which speakers were causing a stir in the online communities.

While Nokia and Qualcomm were generating a good buzz in the online communities, it was Peggy Anne Salz’s blog post that attracted the most attention. Providing a sneak preview of the key points of Alisa Bowen’s speech, no doubt the community outside of the #Open Mobile Summit were attracted to the insight.

With use of the open mobile summit hashtag peaking at 9am, we followed the conversations of more than 200 influncers from mobile operators, app developers, vendors, journalists to bloggers.

There was certainly no shortage of online discussions about next week’s arrival of the iPad. From digital design agency Fjord discussing the iPad’s target market…

However, despite the chatter around the #Open Mobile Summit, it was the Meffys’ finalist list that took the top slot for online conversation.
