One of the major byproducts of Web 2.0 has been the large amount of data produced by social networking tools and websites. Eric Norlin is an expert on how data from one source is being reaggregated in other ways. He joins Phil, Scott, and Ben to discuss the concepts as well as some of the practical examples of how this information is used.
The group discusses such tools as Twitter and Zemanta, as well as how there are no easy ways to label these new ways to communicate. Eric also talks about how calendaring and scheduling continues to evolve with these new methods of data distribution through many different ways.
Eric Norlin began organizing technology conferences in 1999. In 2002, he became an owner and organizer of Digital ID World, which was acquired by IDG via a joint venture in 2005. More recently, he founded SaaScon (Software as a Services conference) in conjunction with IDG World Expo. Eric's foray into technology began when his father brought home a Commodore 64, evolved into work with the National Security Agency, and transitioned into roles running content for technology conferences, writing articles for technology publications and serving as a vice president of marketing at an identity technology startup (Ping Identity). Eric's work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, Inc. Magazine, CNet and NetworkWorld.
