Who: SocialShield CEO George Garrick, with Technology Columnist Larry Magid as moderator.

What: Taming the Reputation Monster: We've never been as vulnerable to technology's malicious possibilities and human foibles. A cell phone can save a kid's life or destroy it. A tweet can strengthen or wreck a marriage. Now that we carry the Internet in our pockets and on our TVs, safety and privacy feel more elusive than ever ... are they?

About SocialShield
SocialShield is the leading cloud-based social network monitoring service. SocialShield gives parents affordable, easy-to-use, state-of-the-art tools to help them enhance Internet safety for their children in the online environment. The patent-pending SocialShield technology alerts parents of questionable activity on their child's social network accounts so they can feel comfortable about who their children interact with online, what photos and conversations are being posted, and where children have profiles. Yet, by operating primarily as an "exception reporting" technology, children can still use these networks with a feeling of privacy and independence.  Based in San Bruno, CA, SocialShield is backed by USVP and Venrock as well as several notable private investors.
