South By Southwest Reflections
I’m just back from my time in Austin, TX attending SXSW and wanted to share my thoughts with you about it. Were you there? If so I’d love to hear your thoughts. Give me a call at 206-309-4729 and leave a comment. I’ll play it on the next show.
I talked a lot about what was so great for me about the conference. It was a mix of the people, the events and the overall vibe of it all. The food was great as well! *grin*
Links to some things I talked about:
- My photos from SXSW
- The Fray Cafe
- Jane McGonigal’s Keynote
- SXSW For Newbies video series (client)
And one thing that I think most of us took for granted was that Twitter stayed up the whole time. Last year is when it really broke out and the servers got crushed. They mentioned upgrading the servers just before the conference started and it seemed to work great. Way to go to the team behind the scenes on that one.
dont forget http://live.rezpondr.com for coverage at sxsw as well. would love to do a call in at some point for future sxsw shows.
I loved the video you made of DYKC at Fray. He killed!! Next year, I’m going if I have to mortgage the house!

It was our first time at SXSW, too, and there is NO WAY we’re not going back!

[…] The other question is whether discussion has to be about social media, and I think the answer is no. I think it’s great to talk about the last movie you watched, or what you usually have for breakfast, or if you are a Twitter-addict. Anything goes. I suspect the true magic and connections will materialise after the event, when these relationships are allowed to grow both online and offline, as CC Chapman alludes to from his SXSW experience. […]
