			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-9578" src="http://www.socialtimes.com/wordpressnew/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/snap-logo-chirp-conference.jpg" alt="Twitter Chirp conference logo" width="200" height="141" align="right" />If you&#8217;re a 3rd-party developer of Twitter apps and are planning to attend the Chirp conference Apr 14-15th, you can propose questions for presenters to answer. The <a href="http://chirp.twitter.com/" target="_blank">Chirp conference</a>, which takes place in San Francisco, will have a number of Twitter staff presenting, including CEO/ co-founder Ev Williams, co-founder Biz Stone, COO Dick Costolo, and Director of Platform Ryan Sarver. Non-Twitter <a href="http://chirp.twitter.com/speakers.html" target="_blank">speakers</a> include tech publisher <a href="http://oreilly.com/" target="_blank">Tim O&#8217;Reilly</a>, web entrepreneur Anil Dash, several venture capitalists and others.<br />
<span id="more-9573"></span><br />
The first day is the actual conference with talks being presented on several topics, including OAuth, streaming, geolocation, <a href="http://www.socialtimes.com/2010/04/twitter-a-film-execs-dream-box-office-prediction-tool/">business strategies</a>, and mobile integration. A roadmap will also be part of the presentation. The second day is what Chirp calls a &#8220;Hack Day,&#8221; and will apparently run 24 hours, providing an opportunity to mix with various developers, share and learn what you know. Other features of Chirp includes a &#8220;sneaky peek&#8221; at un-released API features, and an after-party.</p>
<p>Given that &#8220;geolocation&#8221; is one of the Chirp topics, and that O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s Where 2.0 geo-location conference in San Jose just ended, it wouldn&#8217;t be a surprise if Tim O&#8217;Reilly were to speak on geo-location and location sharing apps such as <a href="http://www.socialtimes.com/2010/04/foursquare-day-the-first-social-media-holiday/">Foursquare</a>, <a href="http://www.socialtimes.com/2010/03/stuck-iphone-app/">Stuck</a>, <a href="http://www.socialtimes.com/2010/03/food-wars-and-travel-channel-strike-up-location-app-mytown-campaign-deal/">MyTown</a> and the like. If you have questions that you&#8217;d like him or other presenters to answer, Twitter is asking you to post them to <a href="http://www.google.com/moderator/#16/e=5c0f" target="_blank">Chirp&#8217;s page on Google Moderator</a>, where there are already a few questions. (Some are blank, so just skip through them.)</p>
<p>Have an iPad and need a Twitter client? Check out Social Times&#8217; list of <a href="http://www.socialtimes.com/2010/04/eight-twitter-apps-for-your-brand-new-ipad/">eight Twitter apps especially for iPad</a>, including a few that combine web browsing functionality.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m about to drive downtown to speak at the <a href='http://boomersummit.com/'>Boomer Business Summit</a> on a panel about social networks and blogs for boomers.  This is definitely foreign territory for me.  The main boomers I know are my parents and their friends.  So how are boomers using social networks?  I know that both my parents are on Facebook and use the site regularly.  I don&#8217;t think they are the average boomer though.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m curious to find out what type of social networks the boomers are involved in and what their thoughts on transparency are.  As I posted about this morning, Gary Vaynerchuk suggests that the world is going to become increasingly transparent and we won&#8217;t be able to hide from ourselves.  Ultimately the truth about everyone will be public information.  I think that the boomers may be one of the last generations that aren&#8217;t totally transparent.</p>
<p>Then again I have friends that avoid putting all their information online.  They are not going to become Twitter users anytime soon.  They use the web for email, instant messaging, news and stalking their friends on Facebook.  Are you a boomer?  What types of social networks are you active on?  Do you think boomers are more hesitant to become more transparent?  What suggestions do you think I should make for the boomers while at the conference?</p>
