			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was on a panel about the future of social media at Ned Sherman&#8217;s <a href="http://digitalmediaconference.com/" target="_blank">Digital Media Conference</a> in DC yesterday. Really good discussions came out of it. I recapped some of the main points (at the least the ones I remembered) during my train ride back to New York late last night on the <a href="http://www.kickapps.com/blog/event-digital-media-conference-2008/" target="_blank">KickApps blog</a>.</p>
<p>The panel was moderated by <a href="http://rohitbhargava.typepad.com/socialmediabio/" target="_self">Rohit Bhargava</a>, who did an excellent job. Check out Rohit&#8217;s new book, <a href="http://www.personalitynotincluded.com/" target="_self">Personality Not Included</a>. Also on the panel were:</p>
<p>Greg Johnson, CMO, <a href="http://www.ggl.com/" target="_blank">GGL</a><br />
Terry Farrell, Senior Product Manager, Zune, Microsoft Corp.<br />
Craig Stoltz, Blogger &amp; Web Strategy Consultant, <a href="http://2ohreally.wordpress.com/" target="_self">2.Oh….really?</a><br />
Nick O’Neill, Founder, <a href="http://www.socialtimes.com/" target="_self">The Social Times</a> &amp; AllFacebook</p>
<p>Craig posted a great summary of the panel on his <a href="http://2ohreally.wordpress.com/2008/06/26/deadblog-what-i-actually-said-at-a-web-20-conference/" target="_blank">blog</a>. He writes about a point a I made during the session.</p>
<blockquote><p>[Michael] said something interesting in response to a question about how people can make money from social media. Paraphrasing here, he said companies ought to go out and hire as many <em>anthropologists</em> as possible to try to figure out what’s going on with this new behavior–and then figure out how to make money.</p>
<p>After the presentation, a woman from Motorola came up and introduced herself, said she enjoyed the panel. She handed me her card. Her title read “Anthropologist.”</p>
<p>For real. Not a winky-funny-hip-corporate-title. Her actual job title.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Yes, Motorola has an anthropologist on the payroll.</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote><p>I’m telling you, this thing is big.</p></blockquote>
<p>Pretty f&#8217;ing cool coming from the world&#8217;s #22 blog according to <a href="http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/article/0,28804,1725323_1725329_1725356,00.html" target="_self">Time.com</a>.</p>
