More Apres-Mixer Posts
by Isabel Hilborn
Silicon Valley social media entrepreneur Elliot Ng posted at length on Friday about the San Francisco Supernova mixer. He includes some nice crowd shots and more good breakdown of Owyang’s conversation about the Social Graph. Here are some of the insights he picked up on:
- Social Networks will be like air (Charlene Li) - ubiquitous and not locking people in to any distinct provider
- Therefore it may be hard to monetize them (Joi Ito) - the way AOL had to relinquish email “ownership” as it became a ubiquitous service
- Mobile devices will play a large role in the spread of social technology
- Characteristics of social networks in the future (check Ng’s post for his take on this part of the discussion; it’s interesting.)
Other posts about the mixer event from Susan Mernit, insights from Ted Shelton, a cross-post on Brian Solis’ bub.blicio.us, a bit of humor from David Spark, and last but not least, for the heck of it I’ll include Chris Carfi’s tweet.
Here’s the full suite of photos Brian Solis took that night as well.
