2012 may go down as the pivotal year for social media. Witness the following -- Facebook's IPO, the acquisition of Virtue by Oracle for 300 million and Salesforce.com buying BuddyMedia for nearly $800 million. And we aren't yet half way through the year.

While all this activity has been focused around Facebook, it is by no means the only social media game in town. In fact Twitter remains the preiminent real time in the moment social media platform designed for real time short messaging and designed for mobile from day one.

Therefore with all this activity happening around social media it is an ideal time to catch up on all that is happening and the diverse uses of social media.

American internet entrepreneur Jeff Pulver has staged sveeral events and conference and his latest, the 140 Characters Conference takes place June 19th and 20th, 2012, at the 92nd St Y in upper Manhattan. Although no longer exclusively about Twitter, the conference still puts its emphasis on the real time social web.

The conference in short bite-size chunks of 10 to 20-minute presentations and panels of social media stories covers not only stories of using social media in marketing and business but also in education, social causes and many other situations.

The lineup of speakers leading the conversation this year includes various social media celebrities and thought leaders but also everyday people for whom social media has been a solution to problems or a lifeline.
