Last Night’s Supernova Mixer in SF

by Kevin Werbach

March 8, 2008 at 12:06 am · Filed under Mixers, Supernova Announcements, Supernova08

Thanks, everyone, for a stimulating evening! We had a great turnout, and some really interesting and wide-ranging conversations. Not to mention that everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves a great deal.

There were two wide-ranging discussions, on Business in a Networked World (moderated by Jerry Michalski) and Leveraging the Social Graph (moderated by Jeremiah Owyang). What struck me in both conversations was how much uncertainty and disagreement there is about where things are going. We can all see that social technologies and pervasive network connectivity will affect every part of our lives. How, though, isn’t so clear. Will we all use many social networks, or a few? Will mobile phones replace PCs as the nexus of activity? Will we all feel comfortable living our lives in public? Will established companies be able to adapt to the new environment? And will the turbulence in US financial markets halt the growth of Internet-based innovation for the next few years?

All good questions, and I don’t claim to have all the answers. I started Supernova as a forum to consider these kinds of issues. I’m more jazzed than ever to do that at this year’s conference in June.

For those interested, Jeremiah’s slides are available for download. Thanks to Jeremiah, and to Jerry Michalski, for a great job. And thanks to everyone who was there last night.
