From Anita Borg Institute Wiki

Presenter: Ruchi Sanghvi (Facebook)

Facebook has taken online communication to a new level, enabling individuals to not only interact with their friends but fuel online grassroots movements, bring support to social causes, and encourage governments to be more transparent and open. This session will examine how a user’s social graph motivates and enables next-generation technologies like News Feed and Facebook Platform to increase the relevance of content and open up the conversation to developers around the world.

Below is the official blog post for this session:
