Webinar invitation: Privacy versus Publicy - the next 3 years. Public debate between Author Andrew Keen and Futurist Gerd Leonhard (October 26 2012)

Please join me for this debate - should be great fun. Andrew Keen - often called the Anti-Christ of Silicon Valley - is a long-time colleague of mine and even though we don't agree on a lot of things he puts forth about in his 2 most recent books (The Cult of the Amateur, and the newest Digital Vertigo) I respect his work a lot - don't miss this; sparks are sure to fly.

Attendance is limited to 100 people so sign up early (and be sure to log-in at least 20 mins before showtime:)

Privacy versus Publicy: the next 3 years. A public debate with Author Andrew Keen and Futurist Gerd Leonhard

Fri, Oct 26, 2012 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM CEST i.e. 12 noon EST, 9am PST, 11 pm Sinagpore etc

Gerd Leonhard aka MediaFuturist is a futurist, keynote speaker, author and CEO of TheFuturesAgency, based in Switzerland. He is (mostly) a proponent of what he calls 'The Networked Society', the SoLoMo internet (social, local, mobile) and freemium business models; and foresees great opportunities in the global empowerment of creators and consumers powered by digital technology. His latest book is 'the future of content and can be found on Amazon see http://www.gerd.fm/focbook

Andrew and Gerd will present some of their key insights for approx. 10-15 minutes each, and will then debate the most crucial issues such as what privacy means in a connected world, whether 'the crowds' are actually being empowered or not, what the future role of social media will be, what the true meaning of a networked society is, and what the media landscape will look like, in the future.

Get ready for some serious sparring - which will also involve the participants, both via messages and chat as well as via audio intervention (upon invitation only).

This seminar will be recorded - please be aware of this fact if you are invited to speak during the session. You can view some of the previous recordings here: http://gerd.fm/youtubewebi

This session is limited to 100 people so please sign up early; most importantly please log-in at least 30 mins prior to the starting time.

"Andrew Keen has found the off switch for Silicon Valley's reality distortion field. With a cold eye and a cutting wit, he reveals the grandiose claims of our new digital plutocrats to be little more than self-serving cant. Digital Vertigo provides a timely and welcome reminder that having substance is more important than being transparent.
-- Nicholas Carr, author of The Shallows What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains

Music 2.0 Webinar: the PDF and the audio/video

I just finished with my first-ever Music 2.0 - Webinar using Drop.io's new presentation service (see the previous post). I really enjoyed doing this, even though it did feel kind of strange to have some people on the conference call phone line while others are watching the stream on uStream while yet others did not have either. We also had several images missing on quite a few slides - still lots of room for improvement by the Drop.io team I would venture to say. In comparison, my Webex experience for the Content / Marketing webinar in Australia, yesterday, went a lot smoother (guess that's why Webex charges a few more $$;) .

Anyhow, we had about 50 very attentive people which is great - hope they liked it.

Now, as promised, here is the media from the event:

• The PDF comes via slideshare, below - you can download it from there
• The recorded version of the uStream call (which came out nicely - well done, uStreamers!)
• The MP3 version (68 Minutes, 50MB) be downloaded via this link

Enjoy!
