NYT Co. Chairman Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., spoke on the keynote panel at the BusinessWeek media summit.

Anyone hoping to get some good dirt on The New York Times‘ business operations would’ve left this morning’s BusinessWeek Media Summit panel with Times Co. Chairman Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., and CEO Janet Robinson feeling sorely disappointed.

The keynote discussion, held at the McGraw-Hill building in Manhattan and moderated by BusinessWeek Assistant Managing Editor Jim Ellis, only briefly touched on topics of great interest like Carlos Slim’s sizable stake in Times Co. Another pressing matter, The Wall Street Journal’s forthcoming Metro section, viewed by many as a direct attack on the Times, was never mentioned.

After the audience filed out, one reporter said to FishbowlNY, “What a blowjob.”

Dwell Media has developed a new division, called “Dwell Strategy and Research,” which is poised to share the findings of its very first study next week.

The study, titled “New Face of Affluence,” surveyed over over 2,230 “creative tastemakers” who live in households with an income of over $100,00.00 to get a look at what they’re buying, which brands they prefer, their propensity to support (but — spoiler — not necessarily purchase) sustainable goods, and their relationship to social media.

The results of the study will be presented next week, on Wednesday March 10 in New York City.

You might recall that, last month, a Facebook glitch resulted in several hundred private messages being sent to the wrong users. The mix-up was widespread enough to warrant an article in the Wall Street Journal.

Among the recipients of these misdirected messages were Sports Illustrated reporter Pablo Torre and WSJ.com editor Zach Seward. The messages, which ran the gamut from heartfelt to flirtatious to inane, included such gems as “I miss my perfect sex slave.” Don’t we all, stranger. Don’t we all.

Of course, we all know what happens when writers or editors get their hands on something juicy/mundane - they organize an event to share it with as many people as possible. In that spirit, the invitation to the event is after the jump. Bring a loved one. Or a friend. Or that guy from three weeks ago with whom “It’s Complicated” because he has a sort-of girlfriend in Nebraska.

Lucy Danziger, editor-in-chief of SELF magazine, hosted a party for her new book, The Nine Rooms of Happiness, at Graydon Carter’s Monkey Bar. (This post was, perhaps, partially an excuse to write “Graydon Carter’s Monkey Bar.”)

Attendees at the event (”Fanzigers”) included socialite Lizzie Tisch, Dylan Lauren of Dylan’s Candy Bar, socialite and philanthropist Evelyn Lauder, New York Times executive editor Bill Keller, newscaster Paula Zahn, journalist and interviewer Charlie Rose, publicist Peggy Siegal, television anchor and woman-who-puts-up-with-Kathie Lee Gifford Hoda Kotb, and Graydon Carter himself. (Who, according to the press release we received about the event, dined with Mick Jagger after the party. Jealous.)

Danziger’s book, co-written with women’s health psychiatrist Catherine Birndorf, M.D, (pictured in gray) will be released this month.
