Paul Ruppert-led session on mobile social networking
by Hylton Jolliffe
Coverage of yesterday’s event kicks off with the first of the reports on the roundtable discussions that followed Steve Bratt’s opening remarks. Paul Ruppert, one of the contributors to this blog and a longtime industry exec who’s recently consulted to a large social networking site, led his table’s discussion around the question of “What opportunities and hazards come with mobile social networking?”
The video picks up as Paul introduces his group’s concerns about metrics, touches on some of the players at the table, and hands it off to a few of them as they talk about the potential and pitfalls of bringing social networking services to the handset. Those who spoke included Tullio Siragusa, CEO of M3 Mobile, Simeon Coney, VP of business development with Adaptive Mobile, and John Puterbaugh, chief strategist of Nellymoser and who, incidentally, blogs here.
