The description is a bit vauge, but I like all areas I interpret it to go - into parameters companies must define for how their employees interact in social networks/virtual worlds; how people manage their multiple online and offline personas both professionally/personally/both; a vocabulary and agreed upon (dare I say) "folksomony" that we can use to discuss the genre, etc. All great panel topics to me! :) Joi Podgorny joipodgorny@gmail.com

Addressing the "vagueness". We've kept the description as broad as possible on purpose so that we can generate a meaningful debate rather than focusing in on what we can copy from what others are doing in this space, or what tools to use or what solely "current" thinking might be.

This is a future focused philosophical panel but yet pragmatic in it's intended out come of showing how we can use the best of on- and off-line environments to develop better frameworks and mechanisms to cope with our lives and the myriad of blended goals we all live with.

The vocabulary, *grammar*, semantics, syntax of social media and communities as well as "folksonomies" are sure to feature in the debate as well as web 2.0, 3.0 and x.0 - glad you picked up on that.

Bring your BIG thinking caps!

Thanks!
