Your vote	Yes No
Organizer	Ori Pekelman, af83
Description	A singularity is coming, monolithic social networks will disappear. It will be like what the web is to what AOL was, as brandless as tap water. The technical aspects of things like walls and feeds will become transparent and intergrate back into the daily activities of "real life". We'll try to cover some of the techincal, social and business concepts behind what happens when Facebook is no more.
Questions Answered	Is it possible to get cats back into bags? Useful to close the barn doors when there are no horses left? Why are dot com social networks doom to fail or transform into a utility? What does it mean for a social network infrastructure to be a utility? Do we need to have public powers intervene, or will the baby Bells arrive by the force of social change and technology? Why are mobile social networks and portable data intrinsically interwined? Mobile devices have more and more sensors getting more and more data on you. Why should you care where this it goes? When will the nice stuff happen? what is de business model that allows us to not have our devices spy on us? You gave Mark Zuckerberg your keys to your house and your car, should you avoid giving those of your bank vault ?
