*MEDIA ADVISORY* WHAT: "The Business of Social Media"—Social media is dead. Long live social media. That's the theme of the CEO of the web's largest-reaching social distribution company, Clearspring Technologies. Social networking and publishing platforms like Facebook, Wordpress, and MySpace are taking the world by storm. The web is no longer a mechanism for simple publishing. It has become the platform for delivering users services via APIs, widgets, and applications. Social media is not a new category of media. All media online is swiftly becoming social. Hooman Radfar will discuss the changing media landscape, the forces driving the changes, and how Internet companies can succeed in this brave new world. WHO: Hooman Radfar, CEO and co-founder of Clearspring Technologies WHEN: Thursday, April 2, 2009 The Whiting-Turner Business and Entrepreneurial Lecture at the A. James Clark School of Engineering brings leading technology enterprise thinkers to campus—men and women from large, established companies or small and promising start-ups, who deal with the real-world challenges of a fast-paced, global economy. In their lectures and question-and-answer sessions, they share their insights and experiences, their "war stories" and predictions, inspiring audience members to apply new ideas and approaches in their current or future careers.
