Cartoon: SXSW
I'm not at SXSW this year, but I might as well be. True, I don't get to run into my friends and colleagues in person, and I'm not rubbing elbows with some of the most famous people in the interactive digital world... but from the blog posts and Twitter stream coming out of Austin, I get a pretty good feeling for it. Enough that I don't even feel jealous.
I do have one tiny request, though. How about not blogging about the cool swag you get? I can take the talk about cool demos, captivating panels and sparkly parties you're attending... but if I see one more reference to that Crumpler bag they gave you, well, it's gonna get ugly.
Okay, now run along to the next event. And bring your camera... the rest of us will be waiting.

I get that it's just a joke - but you should know that the North By Northeast festival is a real thing - it happens in toronto and it's an awesome new music festival!

Not only that, but it's sponsored by Long & McQuade... my favourite podcasting equipment people!
Also, don't you think it would be better if more people there wore Sou'westers?
I've been on Twitter for about 3 months trying to become acculturated and aware of how to use the tools.
This weekend I felt ready to launch my first Twitter experience - "How to Stay Home and Use Twitter Tools to Network a Major Conference"
I figured out how to network at the ASCD 09 conference remotely with Twitter tools and a live Word Cloud.
See how it's working and how to: http://tinyurl.com/d9qgqg
I've made great contacts and expanded my PLN.
