CREATE South regular Tee Morris will be on hand to reprise his popular talk from a few years ago, “Remaining Safe in a Social Setting.” As is common in the social media world, much has changed in the few years since the original presentation so there is much of value to even attendees of the original talk.

This is an offering to mediators, moderators, and members of a Social Media or Forum. As we know about online communities, it is all about sharing, all about an exchange between the community. Right? But when is your information too much information? Where is the line drawn, and just how secure are the networks online. Blogging security. Facebook. Twitter. From hack attacks to user error, Tee Morris (who worked as a Social Media Manager for an identity theft prevention service) will talk about the lines drawn in the cybersand from user to user on just how much is safe to share…with a roomful of strangers.

In 2005 Tee Morris took his novel Morevi to the then-unknown podosphere, making his novel the first book podcast in its entirety. That experience led to the founding of Podiobooks.com and collaborating with Evo Terra and Chuck Tomasi on Podcasting for Dummies and its follow-up, Expert Podcasting Practices for Dummies. Tee returned to fiction in 2011 with Phoenix Rising: A Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences Novel. This steampunk novel co-written with his wife Pip Ballantine won the 2011 Airship Award for Best Steampunk Literature and was a finalist for Goodreads’ Best Science Fiction of 2011. In April and May, Tee returns to the Ministry again with the Tales from the Archives podcast and The Janus Affair: A Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences Novel.

When he is not writing, Tee enjoys life in Virginia alongside Pip, his daughter, and five cats (3 female, 2 males). Considering the male-to-female ratio in his house, Tee understands how General Custer felt near his end.
