THE world's twitterati will talk all things social media at a conference at the O2 next week.

Stephen Fry - pictured right, at the centre of a Twitter debate last week - will headline The 140 Character Conference on November 17.

The event will focus on the effect of Twitter on business now and in the future.

Talks will include 'how the internet is killing our culture' and 'investing in real-time internet'.

Fry, who was recently called 'boring' for his Tweets by one of his 970,000 followers, will discuss the effect of the tool on an ever-expanding range of topics.

The event is one of many created by Jeffrey Pulver, an early investor in Twitter. He said the early idea behind the conferences was to explore the social networking tool and its effects on celebrity, media, advertising and possibly politics.

He said: "Over time the scope expanded to look at the effects of twitter on topics ranging from public safety to public diplomacy. It is my intention to provide a platform for as many people as possible to share their thoughts and engage in conversation with the attending delegates."
