Davos Conversations in a Web 2.0 world

Arianna Huffington posts about "My First “Davos Moment”"in which she arrives at the hotel in Davos to find a Davos sponsored blogger meeting and Klaus Schwab -- the Swiss professor who created the World Economic Forum 36 years ago. The Davos Conversation page has video, blogs (with comments), is linking to other blogs of interest that are covering davos and are taking questions submitted via YouTube and Google Video including Klaus Schwab talking about the use of social media and a Web 2.0 world and how we have to 'reset' ourselves and become aware of all the tools that are available to address the issue. Jeff Jarvis also posted a video on YouTube asking people to respond to his Davos announcement. Reuters is conducting interviews on SecondLife.

Wow what a social media frenzy! All this to engage the public on the topics that are being discussed at the World Economic Forum at Davos- i think this is an excellent use of social media in the public arena, whose aim to engage people across different generations is sure to get more people involved in the conversation.
