Agenda
| 11:30 am | The State of the Social Net: A Catalyst for Civil & Political Revolution or a Hyped Distraction - Jerry Berman, Internet Education Foundation [bio] It's a "Here Comes Everybody" world when defining social networking and participation in communities and groups on the Internet. Involvement in this world comes in all sizes and shapes - fervid and casual, leaders and lurkers and sustained and fleeting. With a particular focus on the impact of social networking sites, the Pew Internet & American Life Project will reveal the findings of its most recent survey on the effect of the Internet on group behavior. Lee Rainie, Director of the Project will share a summary of the findings, leading an expert panel discussion on the "fluidity" of social networking engagement, the contours of the American Internet population, the role of mobile devices and the advantages and disadvantages of this new group participation world. |
* Subject to change. More panels and keynotes may be added.
