I'm doing work with Shel Holtz of the Crayon Agency (wrote a great book on podcasting with Neville Hobson) on the nature of transparency in the Media 2.0 space.  I did an interactive workshop on this topic at a recent Podcaster's meetup group (hosted by Doug Kersten).  Would love to pursure more ideas along those lines if that's of interest.  Contact me at: johnchavens at yahoo dot com and thanks!

1. Blogs, Wikis, and Search vs. Traditional Intranets for internal communications

• Use of Social Media in the product development lifecycle
• Customer advisory boards- internal and external communication- security, confidentiality issues?
• The future of web collaboration
• Social Media and Strategic planning

2. What's happening with Social Media in the Wireless industry?

3. The future of Social Media and Broadband Technologies- IPTV, P2P Video, Interactive Video, User generated advertising.

4.  Corporate Governance: blogging policies- where to draw the line on subject matter for public posts made by employees 

Any othe ideas or suggestions? Please send all comments and ideas to steve at steveeisenberg dot com for review and posting.
