Ticonderoga Ventures, Inc. announces that Patrick Chanezon, an API Evangelist at Google, will provide the keynote presentation at the Social Networking Conference taking place January 31-February 1, 2008 at the Miami Beach Convention Center.
In November 2007, Google launched OpenSocial™, a set of common application programming interfaces (APIs) for building social applications on the web to allow multiple websites to host a third-party social application. The announcement was met with much excitement, curiosity and keen interest within the social networking industry. Many popular sites have committed to supporting OpenSocial, including: Engage.com, Friendster, hi5, Hyves, imeem, LinkedIn, MySpace, Ning, Oracle, orkut™, Plaxo, Salesforce.com, Six Apart, Tianji, Viadeo, and XING.
To help educate about this rapidly growing segment of the social networking market, Google will provide the keynote presentation at the Social Networking Conference and discuss the OpenSocial initiative within the Social Networking industry.
In addition, speakers at the upcoming conference will include senior executives from high-profile Social Media companies such as: AOL, Digg, Technorati, Pringo Networks, Leverage Software, Visible Path, Intel Capital, Userplane and others.
Ticonderoga Ventures expects the 2008 Social Networking Conference in Miami to be the largest event of the year.
