We live in Feeds and Social Networks Now

Social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn have enabled us to connect and hear from the friends, celebrities, colleagues, and businesses we care about most. This means most of our information comes in one big long stream instead of a nicely edited front page and everyone is responsible to sift through the noise on their own. Former Head of Growth for Twitter, Facebook alumni, and current Principal at leading Silicon Valley VC firm Greylock Partners, Josh Elman, will talk about how they grew, how to get your message out, and what is coming next.
