Larry Magid to speak at the Social Discovery Conference in San Francisco

New York, NY--Ticonderoga Ventures, Inc. announces that Larry Magid will speak at the upcoming SocialDiscovery.org conference on August 6-7, 2012 in San Francisco.

 
Larry Magid, technology analyst for CBS News, a Forbes blogger and co-director of ConnectSafely.org, will lead a panel entitled Safety and Identity Verification in the Social Discovery Market.   Joining him are CEOs from Virtrue and Mingly.
 
Social discovery has quickly become a leading trend in social media and social networking.  Users join specific communities that share interests, and learn of new people, places and things. Social discovery sites have recently experienced higher levels of growth than traditional social networking models.
 
Some examples of social discovery sites include Pinterest, TheFancy, Foursquare, Yelp, Highlight and Weotta.  
 
Social discovery sites are well positioned to promote products and services.  Mirroring the conditions of human search, users discover products and services that their social connections like and recommend.  This implies a higher level of performance in terms of conversion and sales, something a traditional social network generally lacks.
