January 25th | San Francisco Inside Network is proud to announce our second conference on the future of monetization on social platforms: Inside Social Apps InFocus 2011, exploring the key uncertainties and opportunities in social games and applications in 2011, happening January 25th in San Francisco. Social applications first emerged in 2007, and are today maturing into a global media ecosystem. With the launch of the Facebook Platform, followed by platforms from MySpace and other social networks, developers worldwide could leverage the social graph to create new kinds of social experiences never before possible. Now, three and a half years later, what started out as sheep throwing and vampire biting has quickly become a profitable billion-dollar industry, punctuated by numerous major acquisitions by the world's leading media companies and developers.

Inside Social Apps will investigate the latest trends and challenges for social applications, and look at what's to come for developers throughout the space - including the growth of virtual goods and social applications on mobile devices.
