Local Gets Social – The Impact of User Generated Content and the Promise of Real-Time Search

With the increase of local sites that feature user generated content and in particular reviews plus the real-time nature of platforms such as Twitter, consumers now have access to unprecedented amounts of local information. In this panel we will explore many  questions.  Do we risk information overload for consumers? What is the promise of real time search? How is the power of word of mouth being used by consumers? What are the challenges for publishers, advertisers and in particular local business owners? We will also explore new business models and opportunities that have been generated by UGC.

Mobile – The Future of Apps is Bright

This panel is all about apps – in particular social and local apps (and some mapping which is of course a key part of local)… Phones started out as social devices – we made voice calls. Then we had SMS (text) and then email (think Blackberry). Now we have smart phones, iPhones and Gphones – personal mobile devices. What does the present and future hold for “local social” on Mobile? How does the rise of the iPhone and emergence of Android change the game? We will examine the fast growth of and impact of applications (and app stores). We may also see some wicked demos, discuss new business models and view what an ‘augmented’ real local world might look like.
