SXSW 2012: The Social Graph is a Bloated Corpse
We all want to watch that ROCKIN shock-and-awe presentation at SXSW that everyone raves about, right?
While some other sucker is stuck in a session with a mumbler, or picked the panel with the presenter too hung over to show up (yeah, it happens)… there are the lucky few in a sleeper hit sucking up the future with a fire hose.
How many SXSW attendees get lucky enough to choose those elusive few sessions that deliver the magic matrix of education, entertainment, and awe — the ones that draw you in and don’t let go until the next session is banging on the door?
I’m working on making the number of those lucky attendees a little bit bigger.
“The Social Graph is a Bloated Corpse” is my first submission for speaking at SXSW. My intention is to create something that goes beyond the deck, to take “interactive” to heart and create a SXSW INTERACTIVE experience.
My session is about the death of the social graph and the rise of what I’m calling the “Real-Time Graph.” I’ll be answering questions like:
Is the social graph losing relevance?
Is there another way to approach the graph that changes how content engages with us?
What narrow range of content will consumers value when social clutter becomes overwhelming?
What’s the difference between content that’s valuable and content that takes more than it gives back?
Where did Facebook miss the boat and how can developers and entrepreneurs seize the real-time opportunity?
What is a “Real-Time Graph” and how can it create a richer social experience?
How does a Real-Time Graph change the way we live in a social world?
VOTE NOW!! I just need your thumbs up vote on the official voting page on the SXSW Panel Picker—> “The Social Graph is a Bloated Corpse” (Voting ends Friday, September 2, 2011 at 11:59 PM CST.) Feel free to make comments, too. The judges take into account how much interaction there is on the panelpicker page.
Oh and… I’ll be giving a significant, jealousy-inspiring PRIZE to the session attendee with the best zombie make-up (costume optional, although after some of those SXSW parties it’ll be hard to tell who’s trying and who woke up 10 minutes before rolling in). Yeah, it’s like that.
Vote if you care. Go if you DARE.

Hi! Great concept. It will also be a great experiment in seeing who gets “interactive” with you. The people first on participating and then the rest in waves. I’m actually anticipating a job market for twitter feed sorting. I think Micah has one, at least he mentioned it. I hope you don’t get a 8 a.m. slot..
