What’s on the horizon? Legal Issues 102? The only limit is what you can think of and send in as a proposal.
Topics submitted so far include:
- Social Networking for Bloggers
- Interactive vs. Traditional Marketing Agencies
- Power Networking with Twitter, Blogs, and Social Bookmarking
- Using new media effectively in the classroom
- Social Media in the Newsroom (newspapers/TV)
- Building a “Persona” for your Podcast
- What are the advantages and/or disadvantages of joining a Blog/Podcast Network?

Hoping for no fog in Toronto this year, Anil Dash will be at ConvergeSouth 2008.
Not too shabby!

Many people expressed an interest in choosing presenters for ConvergeSouth. This is your opportunity. We are looking for presenters of diverse background and experiences in these particular areas:
- Business
- Blog
- Video
- Social Networking
- Law
- Gaming
How to suggest: Leave a name with contact information in comments or email it directly to me. Strange as it may sound, I don’t know everyone who has an online presence, so some background on their expertise will be a plus. Names without any contact info will probably be ignored because there’s only so many hours in a day.
I’d appreciate your comments as to why this person would be a great CS choice. You probably know something we don’t and that’s always a big help.
NB: The site WILL launch this weekend, mistakes and all. We have an online method for you to suggest additional breakout presentations and nominate yourself to lead one. We have not yet turned anyone down and would do so only for space reasons (limited number of Internet-ready rooms at A&T).

Jonathan Bailey of Plagiarism Today will be at ConvergeSouth 2008 and presenting on not-quite-legal issues regarding plagiarism and related issues. It’s a problem for everyone who puts quality stuff online. We’re thrilled to have Jonathan (who’s on his way to Dallas to present at another conference) at ConvergeSouth. Thanks for the Greensboro-ite who recommended him to us. You can do the same thing but we suggest you do it soon.
