Everything in Moderation, Socializing in Excess
|
|
As an online community grows, how do we avoid the inevitable fate of herding cats for a living rather than building a strong, vibrant community? This panel will discuss and debate best and worst practices, legal and technical implications, and corporate versus community needs with respect to online community moderation.

Finding Your Alternate Reality
|
|
Would feature a discussion on creating Alternate Reality Games for marketing purposes (film releases, music releases, etc.). Presentation will concentrate on the dynamics of a great ARG, how to create viable 'plot twists,' and how to drive participation. In addition to the panel discussing the ARG, the panel is an ARG! There would be a temp internet site set up and referenced in the conference book that actually makes finding the location of the panel an ARG.
