Jeff Pulver believes that we are experiencing the first stages of a major communication revolution. What many people today refer to as "Social Media" he believes is really a primitive for a new way we will communicate in the future. In fact, the systemic effects of the advent of social media will be felt for a long time after the term "social media" is no longer trendy.
IP based communications continues to evolve and our future social networks will one day help define how people are seamlessly discovered when someone originates a call to them. Business communication methods are transforming. The advent of social communications is having a direct effect on company/client/consumer/vendor/fan relationships. It has been a quite a while since our business ecosystems have been effected so quickly and so deeply then what we have already felt and will be felt in the weeks, months and years ahead.Delegates attending #140conf NYC will have a first had oppotunity to take in the changes underway by hearing about how the real-time internet is effecting a wide number of industries and by taking advantage of the opportunity to connect face to face with the community at large.Jeff's has been working on the content for the upcoming #140conf for the past few months.The preliminary schedule for #140conf NYC is now available for preview here.

Wyclef Jean's power as Brand for Social Good - The Chris Sacca Interview During the #140Conf / NY - June 2009
Last June at the #140Conf / New York, I had the opportunity to sit back stage while listening to Chris Sacca as he interviewed Wyclef Jean. As the event was happening, so did the situation in Iran, where people took to the streets, using social media to protest the oppression.
Watch the video, where Chris talks about the impact of Wyclef having 300,000 followers. And now fast forward to today where he has almost 1.4 million followers. As the situation in Haiti came to pass, he broadcasted his own message: “Please text ‘Yéle’ to 501501 to donate $5 to Yéle Haiti. Your money will help with relief efforts. They need our help.”
Though only six months old, this video seems ages ago, given Wyclef's rapid ascent in the twitterverse where someone like him can use the power of personal brand for social good

Being Human Day #4 - Connect, even when you can't.
Having been a part of the 140 Characters Conference in New York, LA, and London, my schedule prevented me from attending the Tel Aviv event which took place today. But even though I could not attend the Tel Aviv event, I attended by watching it on UStream.
Over the course of being at the 140 Conferences, I connected in person with so many smart and really amazing people. This, of course, was in person. Then, after being in Israel for nine days I had to return to the US because the reality of taking things at home got in the way. I met some of the people who were going to be at the #140Conf Tel Aviv during my visit to Israel. Here's 140 Conference's founder, Jeff Pulver, talking about today's event in Tel Aviv.
