Our LA Mid-Year Digital Media Review Panel at the WGA Theater earlier this evening went very well…the panel was free flowing, and we discussed a range of issues in the digital media industry, with our panelists: Deanna Brown, President, Interactive, Scripps Networks; Greg Clayman, EVP Digital Distribution & Business Development, MTV Networks; Mitch Lasky, General Partner, Benchmark Capital; Ross Levinsohn, former president, Fox Interactive; and Brian Weinstein, CAA.

The discussion started with MySpace vs Facebook, and then everyone chimed in about the future of Facebook and the larger implications; then moved to how bigger media ocmpanies are incorporating and working with such platforms; on the mobile side, the upcoming spectrum auction and how it has the potential to open up a whole new industry as open content flow on handsets and networks; and many more topics. We’ll have the audio of the panel up in the next day or so.

We had about 400 people in the auditorium, and then the mixer following that was full of Pom bottles, just the way I like it.

Some pics from the evening are up here.
