Social networking and media have been quite a hot topic for the last few years. I think humans are generally social in nature so the social networking phenomenon online plays into human nature as social networking tools have evolved online. For example, there have been a number of "white label" solutions like Ning, Userplane, Drupal and Kickapps just to name a few that offer out of the box social networking solutions.
I will be moderating a panel at the upcoming Graphing Social Patterns East conference next week discussing white label social networks with some of the leaders in the space in a session titled, From Zero to Community in 60 Seconds: White-Label Social Networks.
The panel includes:
Alex Blum - CEO of KickApps
Michael Jones - CEO of Userplane
Sean Roach - CEO of Got Access
If you have a question you would like me to ask the panel please submit it in the comments section below.
It should be a great few days of speakers and festivities. GSP East will feature keynote presentations from Facebook, MySpace, Google, & LinkedIn, along with over 75 other speakers from top social networking marketers, developers, & platforms. The full conference schedule is here.
For starving developers there are a few discounted passes available, so for those on a budget here are two last-minute options to save some cash:
- 20 developer passes are available @ 30% off if you register with discount code: gspe08fgd
- Another 10 passes are available @ 50% off if you submit your app in the AppNite Live Demo contest (Tue 6/10 eve). The discount code is available on the AppNite entry form here.
Next week will be like DC Internet Week with GSP East the beginning part of the week and then BlogPotomac which I am keynoting at wrapping up the week on Friday. Hope to see you out and about next week.
