Re: Pre-Telecon Introductions

I'm Jed Sundwall. I'm Director of Social Media Marketing for Captura  
Group, an Internet research and marketing consultancy based in San  
Diego. I work full time on a contract with the General Services  
Administration, developing the social media strategies for USA.gov and  
GobiernoUSA.gov.

I'm glad to see that so many fellow participants are advocating for  
data portability and privacy. I am interested in developing pragmatic  
standards to insure privacy within open structures. I'm also  
interested in standardizing engagement metrics and issues related to  
multi-cultural and multi-lingual social Internet applications.

Looking forward to getting to know all of you.
