Joi Ito Cool. Thanks Oliver!

Joi Ito My presentation: http://prezi.com/z6kirrqd-7h0/

Oliver Ding @Joi, I have created a bag on BagTheWeb to collect your talks on LeWeb 08, DLD 09, TEDxDubai (http://bagtheweb.com/b/0q14Fk). This bag is part of the a cluster of SXSW bags. I wish these bags could be useful for you. Check out the two links to SXSW bag groups on BagTheWeb: 1. A hashtag page showing many #SXSW bags (http://bagtheweb.com/tags/SXSW), 2. A "main portal" bag (http://bagtheweb.com/b/Uxbn7N).

Umar Akram yup good one!

Habib Haddad Ditto :)

Thomas Knoll <3

Joi Ito How's this? "Creative Commons, Open Innovation and World Peace"

Talk about how CC and the Internet enable open innovation and how critical open innovation and the Internet is in providing voice and economic empowerment globally.

Joi Ito On second thought... that sounds a bit too self-absorbed. I'm trying to figure out how focused on CC I should be and how to balance practical vs just informative. Only have 2 days AND I have to promote it the session too. Busy busy! ;-)

Habib Haddad The WoW anecdote you did while in Beirut was pretty amazing, an encore would be hot :)

Joi Ito How about... a explanation how the various regions I work in, the various roles - Creative Commons, WITNESS, Mozilla, Global Voices, investor, WoW player - tie together technically and socially and how it actually all makes sense?

Alper Çuğun Indeed a nonUS centric approach to most of the sessions with lots of debunk would be very welcome. Culture shock our American friends if you can!

Habib Haddad Yes I agree with Silona and Thomas, a lot happening outside of the US/Europe and very few experts with an overall understanding of the differences ...

Silona Bonewald I am with Thomas I think the differences in culture and how it is or should influence or create those tools is more interesting and few as qualified as you are!

Thomas Knoll IMHO, there will be 100 panels talking about social media and technology... and almost no one as qualified as you to speak on the social behavior across the globe. Maybe something that gives thought to how things get shared across cultures using these tools (and licenses) =) But, you can provide information that few other panelists can.

Joi Ito Do you think the audience is more interested in social media and the technology than the cultural and general social behavior of different regions?

Benjamin Joffe Progress of the "Commons" and "Emergent Democracy"? Differences across startup ecosystems? I'm on a China Social Media panel - hope to see you again there!

Charl Lee I second Silona's request. Global perspective on social & #lbs would be interesting.

Silona Bonewald how about since you have been traveling so much - the cultural difference and similarities in social media and local based mashups? etc?

Joi Ito Haven't decided what to talk about yet. Any ideas or suggestions welcome!
