One might ask why would a Techie-geek security management person like myself would go to #140 Conference in New York? There are lThe security reason of interest to myself and to my organization is related to information leakage through twitter as well as furthering social education about new technology risks. 

What is #140Conf : You can check it out in the words of Jeff Pulver on his ideas of creating the conference.

Having just spoke of the issue of adult social networking education last week, I feel that this will be a fantastic opportunity to get to the grass roots of how viral social networking can change personal brand definition and how information leakage impacts organizations. The magnitude of people getting fired, expelled from schools, and socially blacklisted due to lack of some forethought when using twitter is absolutely amazing, couple this with what information can be distributed with malicious intent and we have one powerful medium. Security Awareness needs to be outreached to better educate everyone on the impact of what they say today on the life they will live tomorrow. 

Please look forward to my photo-blog that I will be uploading daily through my trek through the #140conf jungle, as well as the recaps of key topics.
