Debate: Should Social Sites Allow Anonymous Users?
by Cindy Cohn and Colette Vogele
Every new website that allows users to participate faces the same question: do you require users to use their real names? Facebook has taken a firm position that it will require real names, even at the cost of disappearances of human rights activists around the world. Other sites have suffered as anonymous speakers poison the conversation and use the shield of anonymity to harass women. What's a social site to do? Join two of the Internet's top lawyers, EFF's Legal Director Cindy Cohn and Colette Vogele, as they debate the question.

Multiple Personalities–Not a Disorder but the Norm
by Amy Parnell, Benjamin Smithee, Elizabeth Sartin and Thomas Marks
In today’s online social world, most people maintain several different social profiles that span across friends, business networking, online dating and entertainment/lifestyle. One person’s public persona on each of these different types of social sites could be vastly different than the information they will share on the others. What are the psychologies and mental models at play that provide a preconceived notion of what personal information should be shared in different contexts? What challenges does each profile team face in overcoming such pre-existing beliefs?
Discuss why online social users create unique personas between these different sites, why the content that is shared across these different communities can be so dramatically different and what challenges the social media industry faces in regards to contending with fundamental human psychology. Particants on this panel include leads from Match.com, LinkedIn and TripIt.

The Local Backbone of the SoLoMo Revolution
by Dave Barger and Julio Fernandez
This is not a panel about SoLoMo metrics or the panacea Brands are looking for. This panel will show you how two community leaders are organizing their neighborhoods to leverage the latest Social and Mobile marketing strategies.
National Brands and popular apps have done a good job educating users in metropolitan areas to understand loyalty programs and location opportunities. But small business owners are not leveraging these services or when they do, they are making partnerships with companies that do not have their best interest at heart and do not provide a follow-up action plan.
Learn how two friends organized their Destin, Florida and Memphis, Tennessee communities to set up the foundation for successful SoLoMo programs for both small business owners and their customers. This panel will cover the challenges and success stories of educating business owners about the benefits of claiming their Google and Facebook Place all the way to setting up Foursquare specials, Facebook Offers, accept Google Wallet payments and the role BarCamps and the Chamber of Commerce played in the SoLoMo Revolution.

A Carlin Home Companion
by Kelly Carlin
Through storytelling, classic video footage, and family memorabilia, Kelly Carlin, the only child of iconoclastic comedian George Carlin, chronicles over forty years of her life with her famous father. Kelly, host of Waking from the American Dream podcast, author, and well respected storyteller, reveals what it was like to be swept up into the life and career of her father from his early days as a straight comic through his transformation into a counter culture hero and social commentator to the very last days of his life. Join us for this funny, poignant and honest look at the man who not only redefined 20th century comedy, but inspired generations of comedy fans with such classic routines as Hippie Dippie Weatherman, Class Clown, The Seven Dirty Words, A Place for Your Stuff, and Modern Man.
"The journey to womanhood by a girl who happens to be George Carlin's daughter makes for a transcendent show that operates on all levels. It's revealing, moving, highly insightful and funny. Master George might have said: 'Maybe she's a little too damn honest.' But, all I know is, it's a wonder to see."
