Paul is consistently on the cutting edge of social media tech. He's sure to find some awesome speakers to fill this out right!

Since I met Paul in 1995, he's always been on the cutting edge of new technology. This is sure to be interesting, whether he does all the talking himself or puts together a panel.

I first saw Poken when they sponsored the Internet Identity Workshop over a year ago. I think that they have great promise to support real world networking. I wonder how the topics on this panel go along with my Panel proposal "Who are you? Identity Trends on the Social Web" about trends in identity verification.

I have to say that everything I know about social networking started with Paul, he's an idea man and knows his stuff
