Social Networking Conference Keynotes

CMS WIRE -- July 11 -- The Social Networking Conference started today in San Francisco. The show was also running a concurrent track on the ever growing world of mobile social networking. To start things off, we were treated to a keynote presentation by Britt Selvetille, Senior Engineer of Twitter. He stressed the importance of simplicity and remember the end goal: that we work in social networking because we want to make people better connected. Mark Brooks, editor of Social Networking Watch, gave us some interesting statistics on social networking: South Korea, Brazil and China were top 3 users of social sites. Brooks also gave some figures on who is actually making money in the space, but theorized that niche sites are where the money is likely to be made. Speaking to the mobile element of the conference, Brooks mentioned that most mobile activity is in e-mail or in sending pictures or video. Use of the mobile web is limited, primarily because the experience is still so lacking in the majority of cell phones. FULL ARTICLE @ CMS WIRE
