UNLESS YOU’RE BUSY hibernating, you have likely heard that the Web Summit kicked off in Dublin’s RDS today. This year, the three-day event encompasses everything from tech and food to sport and music.

Of course, the vast majority of us are not attending Web Summit and the only way we can get a flavour of the event is by following it on Twitter.

And let’s just say that reading through some of the tweets can make you feel like you’re living on a different planet.
