Putting the social into social networks
9Mar09

Later this week I will be in Austin, Texas for the South by South West Interactive Festival. SXSW is world-famous for its great presentations and even greater social events. Already my dance-card is looking very full between the daytime sessions and night time socialising.

Here are some of the people I am lined up to see and meet:

Alex Bogusky from Crispin Porter + Bogusky

Mack Collier publisher of The Viral Garden

Beth Harte from Harte Marketing and Communications

Gary Vaynerchuk of Wine Library TV

Gina Trapani from Lifehacker

Tony Hsieh, CEO of  Zappos.com

Merlin Mann creator of 43 Folders

CC Chapman from The Advance Guard

Loic Le Meur, Founder/CEO, Seesmic

Robert Scoble (announcing his new direction)

Dave Armano from Critical Mass

Marina Cilona from Pure Profile

There are many others I hope to run into in Austin, so it looks to be a very interesting trip. I’ll post news and views as they happen.

Greetings from another mediahunter!
SXSW is always a great place to go, I missed it last year, but will be going in 2010 provided the economy picks up a little more.
Enjoy greatly
