That's a wrap folks. The interactive festival in ATX, SXSW 2010, is done. Bring on the rockers and mods and let us geeks be awed by the sheer volume and volume of the partying that is about to kick off with the coming of the MUSIC FESTIVAL. Cause that's how it all started. Music baby, music.
#brucesterling "The first thing we should have open-sourced is food and shelter."
Well, the weather has returned for the ATX rockers, I'm remoting in from my back porch today. Life is good!
But before we roll along, let's compare notes and see if what you got is close to what I got.
#1 Observation: Batteries suck. They suck the most on iPhones.
#1 Lesson: Draw everything. If you don't think you can draw, get Ed Emberly's book and do it. Communication with pictures, or visual communication is the way to win in communications.
#1 Fail: Even if you are the CEO of Twitter or a contributor the Havard Business Review, "READ YOUR FRAKIN AUDIENCE." And if you are losing them, change course.
#1 Social Technology: Eye contact.
#1 Most Annoying Technology: Geo-Location games and apps.
#2 Most Annoying Technology: Everybody, and I mean everybody checking-in with geo-location apps above.
#3 Most Annoying Technology: Over tweeting. (Yes, I am pointing the finger at myself too.)
#1 Bad unSXSW Event: Reverse VC Pitch Party put on by Larry Chiang.
Most of the people in the room PAID to be there. The idea according to the Event Bright posting: "VCs are here to charm you. Normally, you pitch VCs. Well at this event the VCs will be pitching you.?" That would've been a great idea had it been true. (additional notes here)
#1 Most Amazing Offsite Chill Pad: Social Media Club House 3.
I'm not exactly sure what happened SUN – TUES at "the house" cause it was kinda locked out, but while I was "on the bus" or "in da house" I can only say WOW! Well done on both counts. (additional notes here)
