Less Than One Week to SXSW!
at 12:59pm posted by: larissa
With FOWA this weekend twitter has picked up steam and was very busy with people commenting live from the event. It was really cool to follow along. I assume we will see Twitter jamming again with SXSW less than a week away. This year looks to be bigger and better than last year. SXSW is an excellent conference to get a handle on current trends in the digital landscape.
You can also follow me on twitter, if you like. Twitter has come a really long way from last year and added a lot of new features.
I’m bummed that my panel is in the same slot which my favorite blogger is on: Dooce – “Content Boundaries, a 12-Step Program (Margaret Mason)”. I will be missing out on that one but here’s a short list of some panels that I might try to attend. *Mental Overload*

Was great meeting you, however briefly (and drunkenly on my part, heh, tequila doesn’t suit me at all) at the FOWA party.
Anyway, this list is just the kind of thing I need. I’ve not had any time myself to go through all the sessions and make a good list! So thanks!
Really looking forward to SXSW. At the risk of pimping my own stuff too much, I’ll point you towards our Design Eye for South By session:

Should be fun and interesting. :)
