While solving useful problems, the *aggregation* technique of mashups only creates a more complex world. Instead, we could be dissolving problems by *integrating* and extending our existing web services. Like the web API created the opportunity of mashups, web hooks will create an entirely new kind of opportunity.

READ MORE
Social networking is all about the connections between people. What we’re really moving towards are interest networks -- a paradigm whereby people inform each other, gain insight, and interact with information. Connecting with other people is only the first step to collectively organizing, sharing and discovering content.
From Del.icio.us to Twitter to FriendFeed to Twine, we’re seeing many examples of this new category of software, which are founded on social connections, but are centered around the topics we care about most.

READ MORE
This panel explores how digital technology is affecting social change on a global scale from three angles: advocacy, art, and media. The session focuses on new technologies such as digital film, music recording and social networking and examines how these new forms of communication can provide accessible outlets and global alliances among international artists, film makers and activists with a special focus on hip-hop. Using examples of documentary film and political music produced around the globe, the presenters will make the argument that digital technology is revolutionizing the masses in ways never possible before through social networking and activism, particularly among youth.

READ MORE
Pop-cultural representations of artificial intelligence abound – from HAL 9000 and War Games to Iron Man and Wall-E. Michael J. Fox and the Jetsons had us dreaming of flying cars alongside impossibly nearsighted visions of Cosmo Spacely hunched over a circa-1987 computer terminal. Which aspects of our collectively imagined future are on their way to becoming a reality, and what will forever remain the stuff of Hollywood panache? But what is actually possible today, and what emerging technologies are making their way into mainstream use?

Virtual worlds are a fertile new medium. But first-generation virtual worlds all suffer from the same design flaw: they force consumers to invent their own fun. This is where gameplay, or "structured interaction" if you're afraid of the G-word, becomes critically important. Consumers simply won't come back without it.

Based on the Boston Media Makers model, a group of about 30 conference goers will sit around a big table and have a chance to talk to everyone else for 3 minutes. You can tell us what you are doing, ask a question, or do a show and tell. This is for people who are interested in audio and video blogging, social media and conversations. This is an opportunity to meet other people at SXSW that you might not otherwise have a chance to get to know. See: http://bostonmediamakers.wordpress.com for and idea of what our meeting are like.
