It was my first time at South By Southwest (SXSW) so I brought in an expert who has been there many times. Liz Strauss was live here in the studio to give her take on the conference.Liz is perhaps the most influential non-celebrity blogger on the Internet. People visit her blog to learn, swap strategies, and meet each other. She’s been called a thought provoker, an über connector, and an idea machine. As one biographer said, “…strategic, intelligent, and nice is a powerful combination.”
Liz says that going to SXSW is like being dumped into the middle of your twitter stream. Listen to the show as we discuss:
1. How do you figure out what to see and do?
2. How do you get invited to the right parties or lounges?
3. What role does Twitter or FourSquare play in the conference?
4. Why did Chevy and Intuit have such a big role?
5. What new technologies did you see?
6. What were your highlights?
