As the Web turns into an application platform that addresses needs previously met by native applications, its capabilities grow to include functionality that was previously not part of the Web's safe sandbox.
Web browsers are learning to capture streaming video through our mobile phones' cameras, to listen to our phones' microphones, to locate the user, to read her address book, and to send e-mail and make calls on her behalf. The W3C is developing standards for these APIs. Mobile devices are leading the pack in implementing them, and in keeping the Web's new sensors close to users' every movement.
Browsers aren't the only network-connected sensor bearers that are joining the Web: Withings brings us the Web-enabled bathroom scale. Runkeeper and others track our every exercise. And our electronic health records at Microsoft and Google are eager to be augmented with the data that we measure about ourselves.
To add to a perfect storm of archived and shared personal measurements and data, Twitter annotations are turning the microblogging service into a real-time bus for structured data, letting us broadcast our personal sensors' reads to the world. The Semantic Web crowd is standing by to deliver the tools that enable mining and analysis, at scale.
This panel will pull together technologists, legal scholars, and social scientists to shed a light on our future as instrumented, measured, data-driven beings.

There’s no topic with more buzz around it than the “cloud.” However, for all the aspects of our social and commercial lives we entrust to the cloud, at the same time we surrender our data, and increasingly our memories and finances, to others. Who controls that data, who protects it and who ensures our privacy? There are however possibilities for creating one’s own cloud, and retaining a measure control over off-site data and services, both software and hardware based. We’ll explore a number of solutions to the notion of a personal cloud, and the trade-offs inherent in that choice.

Have you ever bought something on Amazon and wondered, "Why isn't buying a passport as easy as this?"
With over 300 million people in the United States, there is certainly room for improvement how their lives are recorded, updated and exchanged. If the Arpanet was created to provide a centralized, communications network, why are we not taking advantage of this access to lower costs and reduce data errors? Amazon processes, ships, and delivers packages all over the world and can now predict delivery within 12 hours of ordering. Why does your driver’s license take two weeks?
We will explore what advances in digital data records and key benefits including: savings on redundant data entry and mistakes, less identity theft and fraud, rewarding efficiency and creating social benchmarks. The other side of this data coin includes managing expectations, privacy, security and opt-out from such programs.
RFID’s in passports, pets and popcorn seem like the stuff of science fiction. GPS location tracking in cell phones are common place and you can throw a device into your kid’s backpack for peace of mind they made it to school. With over 170 million smartphones sold in 2009, there is clear evidence people are eager to manage their lives on the go and personal records maintained by the government is a great starting point.

READ MORE
Today’s consumers expect products and services to be customized to their personal tastes, targeted to their immediate locations, and relevant to their most pressing needs. These demands are being made of digital services, multi-channel (online/offline/mobile) retailers, and location-based services that straddle the virtual and physical worlds. But, to provide true personalization, these services must collect and apply consumers’ preferences and private data. There appears to be a contradiction between consumers’ enthusiasm for a technology-enabled future and their backlash toward the privacy compromises that are necessary for these enhancements. Most analysts interpret this contradiction in one of two ways: either consumers will be pushed too far and will rise up against these invasive services in order to defend their privacy, or privacy is just a media-hyped myth that consumers can comfortably disregard. I believe this to be a false dichotomy. Consumers do want personalized services, privacy does matter, and the balance will revolutionize the way we interact with the world. The problem is a third factor: failing to effectively “sell” the benefits of personalization. Based on research I have conducted with my colleagues, we propose that the tensions about privacy are a product of inadequate marketing by providers of personalized services. This panel will offer, and refine, a working framework for services that want to offer the benefits of personalization to their customers.

The Facebook and Google privacy controversies of Spring 2010 highlighted the gap between technical innovation and user expectations on a global scale led representatives of various user constituents to draft a definitive Social Media Users Bill of Rights for the 21st Century at the Computers, Freedom and Privacy Conference in San Jose, CA. The idea of a Social Network Users’ Bill of Rights (#billofrights) has been around for years, but no large user set has actually collated the key values and principles that should go into such a Bill of Rights and put them to a world-wide vote – until now. All privacy law is based to some degree on social norms. The panelists and other representatives of various user constituents drafted a definitive Social Media Users Bill of Rights. This kicked off a conversation between Facebook, the ACLU and others affected by technology’s expansion into daily life. The next step is to debate and have a public vote on it. The voting is open from now until June 15, 2011 – the anniversary of the date the U.S. government asked Twitter to delay its scheduled server maintenance as a critical communication tool for use in the 2009 Iran elections. As the preamble of the document reads, "We the Users," the “Bill of Rights” document has been released to the public for vetting and debate. This is an important step, both from a future activism and legislative perspective, in the fight to define our digital futures.

READ MORE
This presentation is about the Internet, privacy, the media and culture. There’s been a lot written on these subjects, although most coverage focuses on three general areas: the gradual transformation of a democratic society into a surveillance state, the disproportionate impact of privacy risks (e.g., identity theft) upon the less advantaged of society, or the challenges of sorting through gigabytes of data in the information age. While each of these perspectives is certainly legitimate, there’s another story about privacy and the Internet that has yet to be told.
There is a land grab occurring – one that parallels any in the United States history.
As media continues to fragment, and marketers look to reach larger audiences of consumers, there’s a war going on to determine who gets to build those audiences. The war is being fought on multiple level by the largest media, advertising, consumer packaged goods, technology and infrastructure giants.
This presentation will tell the story from all sides – and attempt to extract the truth and expose the warts in the myriad of current perspectives.

READ MORE
Social networking, mobile communications, location based services, and data-mining-the-heck-out-of-all-of-these are the hot topics of the day. However, many of us – as developers, policy makers, corporate executives, and especially as end users, are taking the technologies that underlie these services as a given. It is key to understand what goes on “under the hood” so that we could understand the benefits of alternatives. This talk will cover topics and emerging technologies of sensing, learning, and communication in social systems and communities. This will be approached from two directions: - The first is from “Social” to “Network”: How can we leverage human level properties for improving the way our data and communications networks work? Main discussion will address ad-hoc communications technologies that can use everyday consumer devices to augment the communications infrastructure with new capabilities,. - The second direction is from “Network” to “Social”: How we can leverage information extracted from lower layers of the communication stack and other sensor data to generate meaningful social inferences? How can we use that information to learn about social systems as well as provide actionable feedback? I will also present approaches to implement these types of systems and other data-collection architectures in a user-centric way. Such approaches could better protect the users’ privacy while still providing meaningful data and supporting viable business models.

READ MORE
In our current cultural obsession with privacy, we risk losing the benefits of publicness—of the connections the internet enables. So, in a discussion, we will consider the value of publicness in our lives and communities, in transparent government, and in truly public companies.
We will ask what privacy really means and examine its brief history (it was born out of fear of new technologies, especially the dastardly Kodak camera). We will discuss the ethics of privacy and publicness that should inform our decisions in social and business interactions: what we reveal, what we keep private, and why. We will look at different cultures' views of privacy (how the Germans, who get naked in saunas and public parks, care deeply about the privacy of everything ... except their private parts). We will ask what Facebook, Foursquare, Google, Twitter, government, and companies should do about privacy. We will claim ownership of the public sphere--what's public is owned by us, the public. And we will forge a bill of rights in cyberspace to protect the openness of the internet that is our tool of making publics.
Jeff Jarvis, author of What Would Google Do? and the upcoming Public Parts, will present his findings and views about publicness—and his own experience revealing his prostate cancer--and then lead a discussion with the entire room—Oprah-like—about the nature of privacy and why it worries us.

Imagine this: guy meets girl in a bar and offers to buy her a drink. Girl intrigued, but before accepting she snaps a photo of the guy with her iPhone and scan for background info. Seconds later results come back with personal ratings, reviews, comments, and he scores 1/5 stars, is emotionally unstable, and selfing in bed. Needless to say, girl walks away.
Technology is advancing at an amazing speed -- nothing new here -- and enabling amazing experiences. From augmented reality, facial recognition, conversation mining and analysis, mobile payments, and it's setting expectations of instant gratification; instant gratification that comes at a price: technology needs access to data.
Media has driven fundamental culture shifts in what we find to be normal or acceptable about privacy -- who would have thought they would share every action, location, check in places, preferences, products and services they like, and make it mostly public.
Marketers want personal data to enhance and personalize experiences which will result in better conversion. People want better services that use data to provide value. But when is it enough? There's a very fine line that divides value and creepiness.
Come to discuss and engage in an interactive session to explore boundaries of what's acceptable.

Facebook isn't just Facebook any more: it's games by Zynga and social plugins on CNN and instant personalization with Pandora. These third party add-ons and partnerships add utility for Facebook users, but they also present a threat to privacy, making it harder for users to figure out who knows what about them, let alone to contain or control the flow of their personal information. This panel will feature a wide range of presenters, from privacy advocates to app developers to representatives of social networks. We'll discuss the privacy issues that emerge when social networks open up to third party apps, partner sites, and the like, and debate best practices for ensuring privacy in the context of platforms and third party apps. Expect a lively debate on whether technical, legal, or market-based approaches are preferable, how much of the burden of protecting privacy rests on the shoulders of the platform, whether a strong privacy regime would stifle third party app development and hinder the growth of social networking platforms, and more.

READ MORE
Facebook, Twitter, Flickr... the Internet and social networks have changed the way we share things in the public space and the recent evolutions in mobiles both in terms of technical evolutions and users behaviours is bringing this to a whole new level. The way we use phones is indeed changing and making mobiles a much better, more human, more elegant, more pertinent communications platform.
Many of the greatest changes in the way we communicate are now coming from the behaviours and attitudes from within the social networking space, currently the fastest growing form of communication and more importantly form of sharing. The benefits of merging presences on all channels: sms, calls, messages, IMs into threaded conversations are so great that it appears ineluctable. However bringing our social net into our mobile phones is generating a new set of challenges that raise fundamental issues around privacy, data ownership and identity.
• Privacy: We share lots of content online but we want to keep some of those things secret. As we take social conversations mainstream, we need to explore interfaces that manage multiple identities for different groups of people
• Personal ties: Some people are more meaningful than others: for a typical human, 4-7 people are special and one is extra-special. Sociologists call these our “strong ties”
• Memory: We spend much of our lives on our mobile and all of this is moving into the social ether. But for how long?

Amanda Congdon and Dr. Sam Gosling sit down to discuss what we are really communicating when we post the details of our lives on Facebook. In a world where "snooping" on people's digital identities is becoming easier and easier, should we hold back or let it all hang out? What do our casual comments, updates and quotes relay to our friends, family, co-workers and potential employers? Also, do our Facebook pages represent the "real" us... or just the "us" we'd like to portray to society? Amanda and Sam discuss his latest Facebook research at the University of Texas-Austin and what implications his findings have on our lives in the digital age. Attendees of this panel will have the opportunity to submit their Facebook profiles for scrutiny during the session. A question and answer period will follow where audience members can ask Sam specific questions about their own Facebook pages. Expect a lively and interactive session. What does your Facebook profile really say about you? Come find out... if you dare!

Last year at SXSWi, danah boyd proclaimed that privacy was, in fact, not dead. So what’s next?
In an age of Facebook, Foursquare and Formspring, our perceptions of privacy are shifting.
We check-in to our local coffeeshop to take advantage of the 10% discount that comes with holding a Super User badge. We indiscriminately store our most important photos, videos, and documents in a place we call “the cloud”.
And yet, while we want to share information about ourselves with our families, our friends, and the world beyond, we still want full control over how our online identities are shaped. We care intensely about how we present ourselves online and we want to believe that the ability to shape-shift, create multiple identities, remain anonymous and otherwise present ourselves online as we would like is ours alone.
As much as the present digital world is about sharing and being social, it’s also about being private. The future of privacy increasingly lies in trust and control over our personal information.
This panel will look at what the future of privacy means for content producers, application developers, designers, and others in the digital creative community.

Generic, digital experiences suck for both users and businesses alike. People expect to be treated as individuals with unique perspectives and needs. When executed appropriately, everyone benefits from more targeted content. But when does personalization go too far? With digital technology collecting data at an unparalleled rate, there is a risk of this information being breached, mishandled or assumed incorrectly. This session delves into the cost and benefits of using digital and offline data to create a more personalized experience, and investigates the best ways to build these data-driven experiences without trampling over the privacy rights of the public.

Social Media holds so many rich promises today for business. Tapping into the millions of potential customers on Facebook or tweeting to your followers on Twitter to “connect with your customers 24/7 seems like such a slam dunk for an organization. Yet the decision is not so clear cut today for healthcare organizations. Avoiding the risk of violating HIPAA, many healthcare organizations have taken a wait and see approach. Turning to these turnkey- social media solutions can be risky for patients and their families. Sharing about medical conditions on these public profiles may end up in insurance company and potential employers or other 3rd parties.This panel will examine the significant changes to Facebook and other social media and their effect on a medical community and patients' experience. Issues that are specific to a patient or other health care user will be considered. Examine why choosing only this approach to connecting with online patients could in the long run be less effective and offer your patient’s a less secure environment. We will explore how best to use these social media tools, , matching functionality with security of the system environment, eventually weaving them into a more coordinated and effective social media strategy.

READ MORE
Many media critics have spent a considerable amount of time talking about “objectivity” in the wake of the resignation of conservative blogger David Weigel from The Washington Post after some critical comments he made on “Journolist” were made public. Weigel and Journolist founder and Washington Post blogger Ezra Klein seemed offended that e-mail exchanges from the “off-the-record listserv for journalists” were made public.
In an era where everyone is being scrutinized everywhere for comments they make, Is anything private? And should e-mail exchanges be considered private? Are Facebook and Twitter pages “private” for reporters or editors? When are reporters and editors acting professionally and when are they acting privately? Is there a difference? Does it matter? What happens to the profession of journalism when reporters claim privacy when their personal perspectives are aired?
This panel would include a discussion of both the ethical and legal ramifications of privacy in the era of transparency. This panel would also explore the historical progression of what privacy means. Has the definition changed over time? Has technology moved ahead of legal definitions of privacy?
The primary goal of this panel would be to have a conversation with the audience to explore and try and answer these and other questions.

With more than 400 million users on Facebook, nearly 15 billion tweets sent, and 24 hours of video being uploaded to YouTube each hour (all recent stats at the time of this submission), people are spending more and more time online sharing their lives through status updates, photos, and videos.
People feel ownership over their online activities, yet much of what they do is owned by whatever service they’re using because they’ve agreed to terms of service or are using a free platform to publish their activities. Why do we consider this space private just because we’re sitting alone behind a screen?
What exactly are you signing over when you agree to Google’s terms of service? What are your options if you disagree with these terms? Will we ever reach a point when we say “enough is enough” and defect from these popular services?
This panel will focus on the evolution of privacy, and our expectations for privacy, in an increasingly transparent and public Internet era.

The web is more than the low-cost broadcasting publishers wants; more than a global entertainment arena TV, sports and music execs want; and more open discourse than politicos and popes want.
The Web is a streaming fabric where people connect via social tools, and the tools shape us. The societal impacts are huge, changing our values, aspirations, language, and thinking. The established order is threatened by this new web culture and is attacking its principles and adherents. They don't understand web influence, how ideas carry, how we affiliate and interact, and why the web is expanding so quickly... and this scares them, since they can't control it.
Social critics like Nick Carr and Andrew Keen say we are harming ourselves and society. Religious leaders equate the web with masturbation or devil worship. Educators stop children from sharing online, and politicians exploit the web, warily. They say what we are doing is illegitimate, immoral, and immature.
These flawed views are not grounded in science. Arguments leveled against web culture -- multitasking harms efficiency, video games make our young violent, reading online is less rewarding than offline, online relationship are less 'real' -- are baloney, often pulled from thin air. As we examine the arguments, we lay bare the attacker's fears: that the web will make us lazy, violent, and uninvolved. However, something different is happening, something they don't understand.

The big players in social networking are setting a plodding pace of innovation. New startups, keen to offer useful and exciting new means of communication, have migrated wholesale to platform-based approaches. Constrained by what it means to be boxed into 140 characters or Facebook's vision of a lifestream, we're left without a compelling view of what "social" means on the web.
It's time to take back our identities, and with it the web. We'll discuss examples of how the web is more Awesome when people are a part of it (and not just a layer on top of a few companies' databases). We'll talk about what kinds of approaches make sense in this new world (and which don't), and discuss some successes (and failures) that have happened along the way.
Parts of this discussion will be technical; you can't build the web without some HTML, and we can't build a social web without getting our hands dirty. However, tech is boring. You can always look up how to do something - knowing why you want to do something is the hard part. We're going to look beyond the modern gold rush, and talk about ideas that have lasting value for content providers, producers, and consumers, and why you should care.

Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, and Gowalla, provide fragmented views of our digital personas. Building transformative technologies to power holistic digital personas requires fundamentally changing the relationship between consumers and businesses. Through deeper understanding of their consumers, as opposed to shallow speculation and intrusive assumptions, businesses will move from guessing to knowing. How? With a new privacy model, where customers are in control of their information, the “right-time web” will come to life. A web that reduces the noise in our lives and increases the value of information. This “right-time lifestyle” is shaped by preferences, context, location, social setting, and more. Atigeo will demonstrate live a holistic, learned, and actionable solution for enabling private digital personas for a better web.

While other companies build their social presences online, health insurance has hung back. Until recently, only a handful of health insurance mavericks had forayed into social media, but that's beginning to change. However, while the companies are looking for ways to engage their members, consumers are hesitant to relate in the same way as they have with other industries. While consumers are eager to Fan a favorite soda or even a bank on Facebook, not many want to be a Fan of a health insurance company. Consumers are concerned about having their health insurer as an active part of the social network that sees FourSquare checkins, Twitter updates, and all the other information they're sharing.
For health insurance companies, social media offers a unique opportunity to directly reach and impact members, which can be difficult particularly for employer-purchased plans. But how can health insurance companies navigate members' concerns about the privacy of personal health and habits and build trust?
The panel will discuss the perceived pitfalls of social tools for health insurance and the innovative ways that companies are approaching the problem - internally and externally. Panelists will talk about present and future applications, as well as respond to concerns that companies might begin to misuse social sharing.

A talk examining some of the most hotly debated privacy issues via the lens of economics of information and privacy. There will be a strong emphasis on audience participation and debate. It is passe to take issue with any large organization that aggregates data, but few people raise more interesting privacy concerns than "they'll serve me better ads with my data." We'll discuss the flow of information (creation, publication, distribution, and consumption) through different mediums and suggest an economic framework for discussing privacy issues. The economic model highlights what is at stake in the transfer of information between/among individuals, service providers, governments, using examples like facebook, bluekai, rapleaf, & our own experiments/work like http://letter.ly , socialgreat.com, & bit.ly Topics: (*) for the 1st time ever privacy is "expensive" and publicity is "cheap", historically the inverse has been true (*) most information shared on social networks is worthless (*) value of information to service operators is not information itself (which is public), but metadata about how & with whom the information was shared (*) information collection is becoming commodity, the frontier of information and privacy is lowering last mile user consumption costs (*) recipients of publicly directed messages lose value because the sender gains social capital by opting public over private exchange (*) there is an explicit exchange rate between social and physical capital

Everyday, hundreds of millions of people share personal and sometimes intimate moments with large groups of often unknown people. For some, there is a growing concern that this tidal wave of sharing is sweeping away individual control over their "digital footprints." For others, the entire concept of "privacy" is a quaint reminder of a bygone past. This panel will focus on the technological, ethical, and individual issues surrounding the intersection of privacy and sharing. We will look at the current trends in thinking about the meaning of one's digital footprint, the responsibilities companies have to protect their users' privacy, and ways in which private and public sharing can coexist in an increasingly open world.

Privacy has been highlighted as a key concern in mobile initiatives this past year. Apple chastised publisher and third party players for not respecting the consumer and reacted with stringent guidelines for iPhone App developers. However, if everyone plays by the rules, there is a great opportunity in mobile to gain substantive knowledge about users and to market to user directly with tailored content and offers.
Many companies fail to plan properly for this critical step in mobile programs. Retro fitting a privacy plan is harder than starting with a basic privacy foundation. The panel will discuss the benefits of considering the right options from the start as well as the main concerns of the government and marketing regulators, carriers, Apple, and device makers for you to consider in your development and design. We will share the keys to thriving in the mobile marketplace with advertising while adhering to current privacy policies. The panel will also discuss the liabilities of not planning for privacy and the potential backlash that exists.

Living Maps are generated using the geo-localisation features of social network services, mobile phones and GPS. They offer us a new tool for living in the cities but they also increase our vulnerability to controls. How can we use Living Maps? What rules do we need? And who makes them?

Radically Onymous is, in part, a pushback against the criticism Facebook and other sites get on a regular basis for not having tight enough privacy controls or revealing too much private information. It argues that we would all benefit by having our classically private information public, to an extreme degree. We would instantly know who everyone we meet is, along with access to a full history of their actions, even before we actually "meet". Everyone would know where everyone is at any given moment. This extreme transparency would lead to the replacement of our monetary economy with a reputation economy, like Cory Doctorow's Whuffie in his novel Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. It would make us safer and, perhaps paradoxically, freer.
Many of this is possible to build now, by leveraging existing social networks, mobile platforms like the iPhone and Android, and public key cryptography. I'll show examples of what could be built today, and how that would be useful even without a critical mass of radically onymous folk.
