  • Social Media Comes of Age Without the Help of Porn

    by Dave Evans, Jason Falls, Jeremiah Owyang, Katie Paine and Lisa Joy Rosner

    Years ago, it was porn sites always pushing the envelope on graphics, interactivity, engagement, commerce, and stickiness (ewww). Now, it’s social media that’s getting lucky and monetizing eyeballs. In just the past two years, social technology has changed radically: Sure, previous advances in web, commerce and web content were largely driven by the adult market. But the current focus on collaboration and content sharing is being driven by individuals sharing their actual (as opposed to fantasy) experiences with brands, products and services. Social technology is redefining—and being redefined by—the interplay among organizations, customers and communities in what’s coming to be known as social business. Our speakers are social technology hotties. They have Klout scores ranging from the high 60s to the high 80s—so these are leaders of the social media pack. They’re here to lay out the future of social business so you can jump on it and profit from it. We promise a memorable, thrill-a-minute session that’ll leave you begging for more. We promise this will be the most fun you can have at the conference with your clothes on. This session is sponsored by NetBase.

In the wake of issues like Porn Wikileaks, G+'s nym wars and Twitter's hashtag censorship, sex worker Kitty Stryker will speak on what are the benefits and hurdles of this growing trend in the world of professional sex.
