DLD: Getting social

Just had the panel “Getting social” . (Andrej Nabergoj, Matt Cohler, Reid Hoffman, Lars Hinrichs, Joanna Shields. Moderator: Marc Samwer) And Sean Parker. 

They were all excited about applications, not “the social graph” but the application is what you need in a social network - especially Sean think this. They said there will be apps we cannot even imagine, like we couldn’t imagine Lotus 123 before it was created.

Sean also thinks there will be only one relevant network you will join on the long run. Joanna disagreed and said you wil have different networks, depending on your needs. I think she’s right here.

And about monetization? Janna says they are profitable and CPMs are going through the roof, especially becaus the integrate media producers tightly.

Matt wasn’t so clear about how Facebook will make money.
