Open Flow track at Supernova 2008

This is the public wiki page for the Open Flow track on June 17th, at Supernova 2008.

Introduction

Open Flow is what happens when information moves freely among users, websites, and organizations. The power of networks is magnified when
technical standards and business practices allow different communities and systems to leverage each other. This â€œconference within a conference,â€ sponsored by BT, will bring together leading thinkers and practitioners to discuss innovation at the edges through social
networking platforms, microformats, open source, social software, and other manifestations of Open Flow.
