Scratch That: Social-Media Use Will Actually Be Allowed During Bill Clinton’s Keynote at Dreamforce

What we have here is failure to communicate: Attendees at salesforce.com‘s annual Dreamforce cloud-computing convention who attend the keynote address by former President Bill Clinton are not actually barred from Tweeting, live-blogging, Facebook posting, and other social-media use, as reported Wednesday.

A spokesperson for Clinton told Yahoo! News’ The Cutline the confusion resulted from the fact that the event is closed to “traditional media,” and the event host and public-relations company misinterpreted that to mean that the use of mobile devices and social media was banned.

It looks like bloggers are still not considered part of “traditional media.”

Dreamforce will be held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco Dec. 6-8.

What If a Former President Gave a Keynote Address with Zero Social Media Allowed?

No Tweeting. No live-blogging. No Facebook posting. No social-media use. No reporting at all. North Korea? No: Former President Bill Clinton‘s keynote address at salesforce.com‘s annual Dreamforce cloud-computing convention, being held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco Dec. 6-8.

ReadWriteWeb reported that it received the following notice from The Outcast Agency, the public-relations firm for salesforce.com:

PLEASE NOTE: President Clinton’s representatives have mandated that there be absolutely no reporting during his session. That includes live blogging, Tweeting, Facebook posting, or use of any other social media. We understand the inconvenience this may present, but greatly appreciate your compliance. Thank you.

The real question is: How will this be enforced?
