The risks of social networks

Date: Dec 03, 2008 | Author: Santiago B. | Categories: Entertainment, Science and Tech

Recently, I gave two conferences at Wordcamp and Buenos Aires 2.0 offering some of my ideas concerning social networks and the Web 2.0. In this post and in a few more to come I will try to share with you the main points I made there. First, a question: Is the use of social networks dangerous?

We frequently hear from those who are reluctant to the use of web 2.0 tools that they do not do so because they find them dangerous. Don’t upload your pictures to Flickr!, they say. Don’t publicize your activities on Facebook, Twitter or Friendfeed! -they add- as someone might use that information to harm you or even kidnap you!

In my opinion, this argument is senseless. At least in Argentina, where the probability of dying in a car crash is MUCH HIGHER than the chance to be kidnapped, let alone die as a result of a kidnapping. We all know that, yet nobody gives up using cars.

Argentina para Armar, Palermo Valley and we are done for the year

Date: Nov 13, 2008 | Author: Santiago B. | Categories: General

Yesterday afternoon, together with several Endeavor Entrepreneurs, I was in the recording for Maria Laura Santillan’sArgentina para Armar“. The subject was “The Entrepreneurs and the current crisis” and will air on Sunday night for those who want to see it. Along with me were Jessica Trosman, Rodolfo Montes de Oca, Mike Santos and Guillermo Gotelli. I am not thrilled with how I fared but the others were very good so it’s worth a look.

Wordcamp BA is past, Buenos Aires 2.0 comes next

Date: Nov 10, 2008 | Author: Santiago B. | Categories: General, Science and Tech

Last Saturday I presented in WordcampBA. The event was great. Mariano Amartino was perfect in the organization, Matt Mullenweg was all I expected and more (I am dying to upgrade my WP to 2.7!) and the three lectures that I saw were very good.

Speaking to that audience, full of super experienced bloggers, was very challenging (I share my ppt below). As I said at the start my talk, “if that’s not going out of the comfort zone I do not know what would be. ”
