New York, NY--Ticonderoga Ventures, Inc. announces that Mingly will present at the SocialDiscovery.org conference on August 6-7, 2012 in San Francisco.

Tyler Koblasa, CEO at Mingly will speak on social discovery and safety in a panel led by Larry Magid of CBS News. The panel will touch on how lines have become recently blurred between public and private information and how users are publicly sharing more than ever about who they are and what is important to them. Tyler's work at Mingly focuses on how we can safely share and use this information to better develop relationships and connect on a deeper level with people we care about, whether in our profession or personal lives.

Social discovery is now a leading trend in social media and social networking.  Users join specific communities based on an interest, and discover new people, places and things. Social discovery sites are experiencing higher levels of growth than traditional social networking models.

Some examples of social discovery sites include Mingly, Pinterest, TheFancy, Yelp, Foursquare, Tumblr, Highlight and Weotta.

Social discovery sites are also better positioned to promote products and services.  Through the mirroring the conditions of human search, users find new products and services that their social connections like and recommend.  This suggests a higher level of performance in terms of conversion and sales, something a traditional social network generally lacks.
