A recent report from Pew Internet says that the internet is now a major channel of interaction for teenagers in America, I’m sure ours in the UK aren’t too far behind them. Organisations who provide support and services to this group are going to have to make sure they target their efforts to make the best use of social media and similar channels.
Interestingly, Dan York’s just blogged about a video from the Privacy Commissioner of Canada about “Privacy and Social Networks”, the link to the blog post is http://www.disruptiveconversations.com/2007/11/privacy-and-soc.html
We’re looking into how we could use tools like podcasts as a vehicle for information and limited advice delivery and we have some examples on our website.
I’ve been considering how we might use social networks but I have concerns about some of their terms of service which effectively seem to assign to them any and all rights to do whatever they like with any content that is uploaded, which I am a little wary of in regard of our information and how it might be represented in other ways and also what might develop should a service provider be taken over by another organisation.
Similarly, I’ve thought about how we might use environments like Second Life, but identity and confidentiality are key and critical factors in our dealings with clients and I can’t see how we can securely establish and maintain those in such an environment.
This sounds very interesting, but as it’s in London, I can’t attend. Are you going to have someone live-blogging it? Will the presentations be on SlideShare? How about releasing the discussions as a podcast/s? That at least could generate some value for those who can’t attend and maybe also generate some traction through the blogosphere.

Natalie,
How about Social Enterprise or Using the Media (i.e. Mainstream or Community Radio/TV, etc.) or Using Social software/media to build a community/brand
