The seminar Grim and I attended focused on Foreign Policy, but it also had an excellent Social Media track. The topics discussed and speakers were very knowledgeable about a brand new industry and one I am deeply involved in. I don't want to cheat any of them out of their due, but I just don't have the time to review all of them. Here are links to some of them. Elysa Camahort-Page of BlogHer.

Angela Connor runs WRAL.com's online community and had a very good grasp on the ins and outs of letting the public run around on a TV station's website. A very good segment for the Twitterpated ADD generation had Ryan Sholin of Publish2 and Spencer Ackerman of the Washington Independent and Attackerman talking about the uses of ADD friendly social media like Twitter and Tumblr etc. I understand the concepts, but I am not yet buying in ti the idea of taking in your concepts in such small packets.There are uses, but I think they contribute to a music video, distracted mentality and I'm not sure that is a net gain.
