    Hi all -

    The BlogTalk Social Media Event will be held in NUI Galway on August 26-27. I hope you can join us, to learn more about social media and to imagine the future of social networks with people from Facebook, Google, OpenID and more. We’ll have some great keynotes, talks, panels, social events, and lots of networking opportunities. See http://2010.blogtalk.net/. This is a non-profit event.

    Speakers/sessions include:
    • Dan Gillmor (director, Knight Center): Activist consumers and responsible media creators in a networked age
    • Stowe Boyd (social tools authority): Social media blur: blogs, networks are turning into real-time streams
    • Charles Dowd, Sonia Flynn (Facebook): The Facebook Platform
    • Ade Oshineye (Google): Social networks versus conversational networks
    • Blaine Cook (BT, ex-Twitter lead developer): Webfinger: using your email for portable identity on the Web
    • Fergus Hurley (founder/CEO, Clixtr): From Galway to Silicon Valley: Building a consumer Internet startup
    • Ted Vickey (former director of the White House athletic center): How to best promote your CV and skills using LinkedIn and social media
    • Werner Breitfuss (Hypios) – The impact of social media on expert finding strategies
    • Laurent Walter Goix (Telecom Italia) – Context-aware mobile social web
    • Declan Elliott (091 Labs) – Open community labs, creative spaces and DoOcracy
    • Our own Darragh Doyle (boards.ie) – boards.ie: who we are, what we do, and where we are going

    …and more!

    Registration for BlogTalk is just €149 for two days (early bird). We also have student / unemployed / one-day rates (€99). Galway is now even easier to get to: 1h40m from Dublin on the motorway, just over an hour from Shannon International, and with regular flights to Galway from Dublin, Cork, Belfast, Manchester and London. And the Galway Horse Races autumn festival starts on the 28th so you can have some fun after BlogTalk!

    Come and attend BlogTalk: it should be a productive and enjoyable event.

    Hi all -

    Unfortunately Don Thibeau is unavailable to talk about OpenID; however, Henry Story will speak about WebID, and we have two additional speakers: Ruairi McKiernan, CEO/Founder of SpunOut.ie, and Deanna Lee, VP for Marketing and Communications with the New York Public Library.

    Henry Story will talk about the WebID identity system, and how it could make loads of distributed blogs into a secure social network. He is currently with Sun, and worked on the famous Babelfish translation service from AltaVista - both as developer and christener (he came up with the name)!

    Ruairi is CEO and Founder of SpunOut - a youth-oriented web platform that aims to encourage young people to engage positively and creatively with society.

    Deanna Lee is VP for Marketing and Communications with the New York Public Library, the second largest library in the US. She is formerly of ABC World News and Nightline, and will talk about the merging nature of marketing, PR, journalism, comms and social media. Should be a fascinating talk, was speaking to her last night.

    Please register TODAY as the early bird rate expires tomorrow - 149 for two days, 99 for students / unemployed, 99 for one day.

    John
