SXSW 2012

In the last decade, Facebook and other social networks have focused on mapping and documenting our existing relationships. The recent rise of Twitter and Foursquare has transitioned the emphasis to what is happening right now in our lives and the lives of those around us. With the past and present of our lives established online, the next frontier is future-tense social networking. Learn from both established players as well as new startups exploring ways for users to share plans and facilitate real-world connections. Will these new location services enable intent-based marketing? Can they disrupt the advertising and marketing industries in tangible, long-lasting ways? We have brought together the brightest minds in mobile social networking to debate how future-tense social networking will revolutionize the way we live, shop, and play.
