RESEARCH TRIANGLE, NC – Featured Internet Summit speakers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss will be competing for Olympic medal this weekend, as they represent the US rowing team in men’s pair rowing finals.
Innovation, intelligence, forward thinking and leadership converge for the first TechJournal South Internet Summit at the Friday Center, UNC Chapel Hill, NC on November 19th, 2008.
The twin brothers along with their Harvard classmate, Divya Narendra, are the faces behind the well publicized lawsuit over the creation of Facebook. Founders of ConnectU.com, the trio hired fellow Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg to help complete initial development of their site.
Zuckerberg then unexpectedly surfaced with his own version of their concept known as Facebook and the rest is history.
After a highly public legal battle and an initial settlement, additional litigation is still pending.
The trio will discuss the early trials and tribulation of their dorm room concept, new social networking concepts they are working on, and life after the Olympics.
They will join over 50 top internet centric speakers and hundreds of executives, business strategists, entrepreneurs, investors and marketers at the Internet Summit.
Expert content will focus on internet trends and opportunities created by web 2.0 technologies, social media, online advertising, widgets, online video, and other essential new web oriented technologies.
