THE FRIENDSHIP PAYOFF: UNLOCKING NEW VALUE IN SOCIAL NETWORKS

Phenomenal three days at Fortune Brainstorm: TECH. The panel I sat on was called THE FRIENDSHIP PAYOFF: UNLOCKING NEW VALUE IN SOCIAL NETWORKS. Thanks to Chris Peacock from CNNMoney who did a great job at chairing the panel as well as my fellow panelists: Gina Bianchini, co-founder and CEO of Ning; Chamath Palihapitiya, vice president of user growth, mobile, and international expansion at Facebook; Deep Nishar, vice president of products at LinkedIn.

Fortune did a great job in bringing in some of the biggest decision makers today in the industry verticals of entertainment and technology. The conversation was lively, and the debates both engaging and insightful. I will definitely be going again next year.

Were you there? If so - would love to know what you thought of Brainstorm?
