Many other blogs which covered this conference, including the wonderful official Women 2.0 conference wrap-up.

My focus here is the advice & stories that the women presenters offered to the 95% female audience.

- Random Thoughts on Data Portability Complications [Technical Note]May 13
-
This is kind-of off-topic for my blog, so if you're interested in business & spirituality, just skip this technical note.
I've linked to some of the major Data Portability Discussions & Articles at FriendFeed. See this Data Portability discussion started by Robert Scoble on FriendFeed
Ellen Petry Leanse's "MicroPost: Data Portability…what’s in it for me?" (@chep2m) asked me why I was worried about Data Portability? Could I provide details?
My quotes from Robert Scoble's discussion:
Open standards have some tough questions which are only semi-technical. (1) How do we handle people wanting different data in LinkedIn vs. Facebook? e.g. work e-mail in LinkedIn, personal e-mail in Facebook (2) Who actually owns a tag on a picture in Facebook? Who owns the wall post - the owner or the recipient, especially of a chain-post. (3) Who owns "scraped" data (ala ZoomInfo), and who has the rights to correct the data? I had to e-mail Spock to change some old data CONTROLLED by a defunct e-mail.

Unlike any other conference...
"The Stanford Women in Business and Women 2.0 Conference dedicates 50% of the program to encourage interaction, round-table discussions, pitching and voting for the next big idea. This is a conference where everyone thrives by sharing what they know, and brings together thought leaders and emerging stars to collectively discuss the principles of entrepreneurship and technology. Together, we can address some of the world’s biggest problems and how to solve them with entrepreneurship!"

Imagine if your organization had a continuously-updated collection of "10-10,000 personal newspapers" about all your people.
What would be the management & communication possibilities?
DATE: Fri 7:26 AM PT
Facebook randomly picks actions/activities of your friends and creates daily NewsFeeds for others. It's a curiosity, but the randomness is not useful working on real-life projects. I found Facebook's NewsFeed more helpful when I had 10 friends, but with 200+ friends, aggh!
Facebook's Mini-Feed is a newspaper of all your actions (ones you choose to make public). More useful.
I can view someone's Facebook Mini-Feed and see what they've been doing for the past day or week. I can drill-down in a specific area (e.g. "Status stories", "Relationship stories", "Photo stories", etc...)
NOTE: For security, some of us "older types" on Facebook don't post anything to Mini-Feed. :-)

I began using LinkedIn seriously in Nov 2007, so here's some personal tips from the past 5 months.

Rushed because Cathryn Hrudicka has a meeting tomorrow where she's presenting.

*** (0) Sign up for LinkedIn & Connect to "Ron Bates", an "open networker" who accepts all invitations. ***
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
His 40,000+ 1st-level contacts will become your 2nd-level contacts.
His 1-3 million (?) 2nd-level contacts will become your 3rd-level contacts.
This allows you to try the features of LinkedIn more easily (without paying $240/yr to see everyone).

*** (1) LinkedIn has become my first choice for Creating Business Dossiers for negotiations & possible business contacts. ***
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My choice of search engines when creating dossiers on people (in the order I use them) is:
(A) LinkedIn (20-25% of my college classmates are here - Harvard 1982-90)
(B) Pipl - Uses the "deep web" to research people (phone numbers, ancestry.com, birth/death records, marriage)
(C) Spock (beta) - Finds people's photos & extracts keywords from webpa
