The August 12th topic for Social Media Club Phoenix will be a break from our topic focused sessions from our Uservoice forum and explore some of the tools and trends that SM professionals around Phoenix are looking into.

SAFE & SECURE: Balancing an online presence with privacy and security

Hundreds of millions of people around the world rush to online services and give little thought to the privacy and security implications of their actions. On the personal level, it is increasingly difficult to participate online without sharing personal information that could impact your life or job. On a business level, topics range from securing your commerce and customer data, to protecting your intellectual property from casual theft and reuse. Even your location can be available through services like FourSquare, Twitter, and Facebook.

This is an incredibly important but very under-discussed topic in the social media space, but if you want to live or work online, it is something you have to consider. We will explore many aspects of privacy, security, rights, and expectations in what is sure to be a very intense and informative panel.

Moderator:

Jeff Moriarty, Director of Social Media Strategy – Sitewire/Chair – Social Media Club Phoenix, @jmoriarty

Panelists:

Ruth Carter, Law Student – ASU, @rbcarter
Dan Oseran, Technical Compliance – Paypal
Laura Rogal, Attorney, Jaburg & Wilk, PC, @lawyer_girl
Josh Woodward, Partner – Snell & Wilmer L.L.P.

The panel starts at 6:30pm. Please help spread the word, and if you have specific questions you would like us to cover, leave a comment here.

Social Media 101

Prior to the panel, Evo Terra will be hosting Social Media 101 at 5:30 — sharp! This month Evo will talk about Separating your Personal and Private Identities. You’re online, but do you want your employers to see the same things about you as your friends? What decisions should you make, and what do you give up, if you’re active in Social Media?

Because he only has about 45 minutes for the class plus a Q & A session, please be on time. The class will end at 6:15, giving everyone plenty of time to set up for the main SMCPHX meeting that starts promptly at 6:30.

Feel free to come to either or both talks, at the Jobing.com offices!

This meeting was very interesting. Sobering. Thought-provoking… for some, anger-provoking it seemed. Unfortunately, the law is the law – it may or may not protect you from certain things.

I think we all need to try to always keep in mind that we are all 100% responsible for our own lives. I am 100% responsible for my own circumstances. And, I’m 100% responsible for how I respond.

…

I’ve found that legal stuff tends to look and sound an awful lot like political stuff. And, we all know there are two topics that are almost guaranteed to raise people’s ire – politics and religion. Like I said – it was a very interesting panel discussion. Many thanks to Jeff and the rest of the SMCPhx group for arranging the meeting. And, thanks to the guest panelists for giving it to us straight!
