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.

Yesterday some 30-40 industry players including executives from Virgin Mobile, Quattro, Movial, M3Mobile, JumpTap, Moblico, and other leading companies convened at CTIA 2008 for an intense discussion of Web 2.0 and its transition to the handset. The event, sponsored by Airwide Solutions and this blog, was kicked off by a brief scene-setting talk by Steve Bratt, CEO of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), and then segued into several roundtable discussions moderated by MM2 contributors and friends.
We’ll be posting audio and video coverage of the event over the coming days as well as sharing other learnings and materials that emerged from a great afternoon of talking and socializing at CTIA.
