Suggested highlights from the YouTube videos include:

From Session 4 parts 1 and 2. Part 1 is what I am calling the “death of distance” segment and Part 2 which is the “paradox of conveince” segment.

• Session 4, part 2 – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bz9EuGzLYM

From Session 5 parts 2 and 3 as this is where we start to get an interesting  debate around both the definition and value of real-time search.

• Session 5, part 2 – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-E3ydmxQ-8
• Session 5, part 3 – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n75qbjAP_9M

More about the real-time search debate (what is it and is it useful for local-social) can be found here on Search Engine Land and Screenwrek.

At dinner last night we had a lively and interesting discussion with both Seb and Greg Sterling about this topic. The general consensus was that most traditional local media companies are quickly running out of time to start planning for their future. Greg also blogged about our discussion earlier today.

Here’s the presentation Seb will run through during the lab tomorrow:
