The Next Digital Experience--Davos Session

Article link: The Next Digital Experience--Davos Session

This article is snippet of a meeting of Chad Hurley (YouTube), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Shantanu Narayen (Adobe), Hamid Akhavan (T-Mobile), Eric Clemens (Wharton), Mike Arrington (TechCrunch) and Craig Mundie (Microsoft). They are in Davos, a city in Switzerland, to discuss how to "Shape the Post-Crisis World" - or at least that's what the meeting is called.

In this particular session, they are talking about social networking and the future of mobile. While I found the issue of privacy and literally knowing where your friends are interesting, I found it much more amusing when the article said that "Cameron Sinclair, founder of Architecture for Humanity, [...] is called upon from the stage to talk about using Twitter and Facebook in Myanmar to organize post-disaster reconstruction under government censorship/control." I mean, right now, I'm using Twitter and Facebook to just in touch with my friends, but here's this guy, and he's using the same tools to do something important. That's astonishing.
