The Social Media Summit 2007


The main purpose of this trip was to participate in a Web 2.0 conference. A conference that focus on how to implement Web 2.0 technology and thinking in a company with special bearing on social medias and blogs. Both in a internal as well as external perspective.

A few prominent examples of social media applications are;

Wikis: Wikipedia
Social networking: MySpace, Ning and Facebook
Presence apps: Twitter
Video sharing: YouTube (video sharing)
Virtual reality: Second Life
Events: Upcoming
News aggregation: Digg, Reddit and Stumbleupon
Photo sharing: Flickr and Zooomr
Livecasting: Justin.tv
Episodic online video: Stickham, YourTrumanShow
Media sharing: ShareNow and Pownce
Social bookmarking: del.icio.us
Online gaming: World of Warcraft
Game sharing: Miniclip.com
Social shopping: Amazon.com

The conference was case driven and we got hands on examples from GM, California State, UNicef, Microsoft, Trump University, and many others.

Totaly 4 days with work shops, bench marking and seminars. And one of the best conferences I have attended. My head is fully loaded with new ideas!
