Family 2.0 will focus on what are the new products and services that are serving the family 2.0 and how should be sell and market them. The white
board in the kitchen could move to a shared online collaboration space. Moving images from you phone to the media hub to Facebook, who is in controland what content should be shared. As those annoying wires become wireless,are we creating too much noise in the house. A TV in every room and everyone always on, can technology replace the evening meal.
With more split families and parents working away from home increasingly, will the extension of digital technologies enable family interaction but what are the implications to the family circle overall?
This will be a wide ranging debate about how we use technology, what technology is available and what the research is showing us.

Is “Follow” the new “Search”! A new economic model is emerging that is based on the value of “Follow”.
With the advent of Googles offer of $3bn for Twitter it seems to support that we are moving to an era of value in individual oponions for search,
filtering, discovery and recommendation rather than a faceless algorithim which may be biased and changes at a whim. Does this migration actually
represnet a full circle as we head back to ‘Local’ and the village ethos where you know who is proving the content and recommendation and
demonstrates that a cluster has value.
Join us to debate this new paradigm; how follow is the new search.

Social gaming commonly refers to playing games as a way of social interaction, as opposed to playing games in solitude, like some card games (solitaire) and the single-player mode of many video games. One hundred million people are playing these games and about $1 billion in revenue is expected this year.
Social gaming is also changing the stereotype image of games players and through the fast pace of technology changes helping gain adoption for platforms like facebook in the US/Europe and RenRen in China, more so in China the adoption of social gaming into the culture has helped drive the adoption rate of the social networks.
Popcap games commissioned Information Services Group to perform a survey of people who play social games online. It found that the average social gamer is a 43-year-old woman, despite long-standing social stereotypes about people who play games. The survey also found that 55% of social gamers are female, are more avid gamers, 38% of females said they play multiple times a day. Women are more likely to play with people they know (68% vs. 56% for males)
We will be debating the future, impact, value and role of social gaming.
