Spending the week at SXSW 2009

I enjoy SXSW because I get a chance to meet most of the peo­ple I read, fol­low, and inter­act with through­out the year. They are all here this week.

I’ve been to this con­fer­ence twice before, and this third time’s the charm: I’m hon­ored to share the stage with co-panelists Peter Imbres, Scott Monty, and Andy Carvin for a talk about “Dig­i­tal Tsunami: Break­ing News at Break­neck Speeds”:

The news about the earth­quakes in China broke on Twit­ter. A fake email from Apple posted on a blog sent the stock tum­bling 5% in twenty min­utes. How is the mod­ern media land­scape affect­ing cri­sis, both human­i­tar­ian and for major brands? Dis­cuss with those enabling it and vic­tim­ized by it.

While here, I plan to live blog to the extent pos­si­ble, although there aren’t enough power outlets …

If you’re at SXSW, I hope well meet up!

 

  • I totally envy you. Maybe I'll get to go next year. If God's willing. :)
