You can t force your audience to love you, but you can easily force them not to. How do you encourage helpful contributions without encouraging trolls or making your audience feel exploited?

How do you deal with miscommunications, misperceptions, or hurt feelings as your audience grows larger? This panel discusses how to encourage an engaged audience, while avoiding the pitfalls.

http://audio.sxsw.com/podcast/interactive/panels/2008/SXSW08.INT.20080310.PMOG.mp3 We play with each other constantly online, both overtly and discreetly. We throw down gauntlets for each other on Twitter, play geolocal tag on Dopplr, and overtly play generic games on Facebook. In this great big virtual world of internet, what are our shared stakes? We will present our Passively Multiplayer Online Game, PMOG. PMOG transforms the existing topography of the internet into a game world for players to vandalize, annotate, and curate. Players experience PMOG through a Head-Up Display overlay in the Firefox web browser. This HUD interface allows players to play with each other through the world wide web, creating information quests, laying mines and building defenses around web sites. Order or chaos, destructive or productive - players choose their alignment by the way they surf and the way they use the tools of PMOG. In addition we will show other examples of surveillance data-driven entertainment from the web and out in the world, and explore how these types of experiences are softening us up for our computer overlords. We look forward to a lively Q CEO, GameLayers Inc Merci Hammon CCO/Lead Game Designer, GameLayers Inc

http://audio.sxsw.com/podcast/interactive/panels/2008/SXSW08.INT.20080310.DefendingYourReputation.mp3 Reputation is far more fragile on the Internet, both for companies and individuals. A single compromising blog post can be incredibly damaging, and Google often magnifies the pain, making it difficult to shake.

The common thread: they embrace the Internet s openness instead of fighting it. Thor Muller CEO Satisfaction Unlimited

http://audio.sxsw.com/podcast/interactive/panels/2008/SXSW08.INT.20080310.BrowserWars.mp3 In the fairly recent past, the only direction the emerging Web platform could take was largely determined by the often acrimonious competition between Netscape and Microsoft via their respective browsers. Today, with hot mobile devices like the iPhone using Webkit, the popularity of Firefox, an IE7 that s gaining adoption, and the constant demand for cool Web apps, the Web Platform is once again heating up. Once again, it s about the ingredients that constitute a Web application, and who s putting them in their browsers for us developers to build stuff on. Proprietary technology again competes against open standards. This panel will ask the hot questions to the browser titans - Firefox, Microsoft, Apple, and Opera. What s with HTML5? And Silverlight and other proprietary stuff? And who s building what feature into JavaScript? And what about the mobile web? Last year we had a spirited discussion about the future of the Web. A year later, can we revisit the same debates, and still throw in a good punch or two, and perhaps even agree on some sort of common vision? Brendan invented JavaScript and is CTO of Mozilla; Chris worked on every version of IE that you ve used; Charles is the public face of standards at Opera. And Arun s going to try and keep them all civil.

http://audio.sxsw.com/podcast/interactive/panels/2008/SXSW08.INT.20080310.HardwareMashups.mp3 As validated by companies from Google and Cafe Press to Nike and Toyota, there is a growing demand for open and hackable systems, and manufacturers in virtually every industry are heeding the call to offer customization and personalization at the individual scale.

In this session, Peter will provide an overview of open source hardware, discuss how customization and personalization benefit individual consumers and device manufacturers, what opportunities lie ahead for individual entrepreneurs catering to the long tail of gadgets, and how the vast untapped pool of creativity among developers and individuals will flip the $171bn CE industry on its head.

http://audio.sxsw.com/podcast/interactive/panels/2008/SXSW08.INT.20080310.CriticalLookatOpenId.mp3 OpenID (www.openid.net) is a single sign-on mechanism that has recently become popular. For the average user, the benefit of OpenID is that it will let you use the same username and password at any new web site you visit instead of having to sign-up using a new username and password each time. Although this seems to be a great idea, relatively few users have OpenID credentials, and so OpenID is still untested. This panel looks critically at OpenID and its potential security and privacy concerns. The panel may also discuss related solutions such as oAuth (www.oauth.net).

http://audio.sxsw.com/podcast/interactive/panels/2008/SXSW08.INT.20080310.LostInTranslation.mp3 One of the most exciting aspects of social networking online is the concept of building communities that are defined by common goals and interests rather than common geography. The nature of the Internet allows instant participation from people around the globe. However, most successful social networking companies have learned that providing users of multiple cultures and backgrounds with a consistent community experience becomes a tremendous challenge. And, while the challenge of authentic localization can be significant, the rewards can be huge.

Believe in the power of online and spread its word and you will be rewarded with untold traffic (and maybe even some riches). Stray from the path and prepare to be cast down by the Twitters.
