What’s up? I’m liveblogging from the first session @ SXSW 2008 Interactive Week. Thus far, it’s fabulous. I say that because I registered early, essentially without a line. The poor saps out there who waited are in a line that spans a city block and four floors. that left me time for a fabulous, long lunch at Moonshine and chatting with fellow marketing geeks. It reminds me of Where’s Waldo? in here. People that would stand out in the midwest are a dime a dozen in here. There are literally hundreds of people sitting around with their Mac laptops and edgy hair. My normal friends not in this industry, let alone this niche, would be overwhelmed at my liveblogging geekery. Here, it’s not just cool, but it would be cooler if I were doing it via my iPhone or crackberry, complete with podcast. This makes it probably the best place on earth at the moment, as far as I’m concerned. My tribe has converged! I gotta tell you, I’m already trying to think of a panel we could put together for one of these in the next year or two. I’m sure everyone else is, too. Our own Tom Parish has a panel tomorrow on Social Media Marketing Metrics. He will answer the question we all have–where are they? And now, I have to learn how to rock the next few days like the total ninja that I am.
