Panelists at the Churchill Club's annual Top Ten Tech Trends event debate whether or not social networks are beggining to develop an "uncool factor" among early adopters.

What new trends will emerge in the next several years? Find out at one of the Churchill Club's most anticipated events of the year: the 13th Annual Top Ten Tech Trends debate. Be sure to get your seat as we welcome some of the techno-industries' leading (and most opinionated) luminaries as they evaluate predictions for the years ahead. Visionaries at SRI International -- the institute that has conducted $4B in research in the last decade and spun out 40 ventures -- have taken their best shot at predicting the biggest trends of them all. Our distinguished panel will rate and debate the trends. And our usual live audience of Silicon Valley's best and brightest -- all with opinions of your own -- will be asked to agree or disagree. - The Churchill Club

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- Despite all the success it has achieved during the last five years, the behavioral targeting business has been plagued by its lack of universally-accepted standards. In a move to alter that, 240 technology, media and marketing companies have signed on to the newly-created Behavioral Targeting Standards Consortium (BTSC). It's advisory committee includes representatives of Revenue Science, Microsoft, Jupiter Research, Barry Diller's Expedia and Hachette Filipacchi's Jumpstart Automotive Media.
