This week a portion of our team attended the Glimpse Conference for social discovery in San Francisco. Glimpse: the social discovery conference, was the first conference focused on the future of social discovery. Companies and products in the social discovery space aim to connect people with new places, people and products that they will enjoy based on their social interactions and existing interests. Glimpse did a great job bringing together leading experts in social discovery to discuss the future of how we live, decide and buy. In addition to having reps from social networking heavy hitters like Facebook, LinkedIn, Tagged and Foursquare, media companies including BlogHer, Pulse and StumbleUpon, the event, emceed by the San Francisco Chronicles very own Casey Newton, hosted an impressive gathering of reporters with everyone from Shayndi Raice (Wall Street Journal), John Swartz (USA Today - pictured with team left), Mike Issac (All Things D), Doug MacMillan (Bloomberg Businessweek), Matt Rosoff (Business Insider) and Brian Blau (Gartner) to Chris Taylor (Mashable), Dylan Tweney (VentureBeat) and Sarah Lacy (PandoDaily).
