We'll discuss some ways to increase that sphere and find new and interesting things in the "long tail."		Community / Social Networks	P	I
1 2 3 4 5	Traci Miller, Collective Detective	You Need to De-Geek the Geek, Geek!		To Geeks it's easy to speak in acronyms with a full sentence of just letters strewn together with a bunch of and's and the's. Problem: half your clients don't speak Geek. This panel delves into the kindergarten version of Geek talk to bring it down to a simpler level.		Human / Social Issues	P	B
