Chris Brogan is a prolific writer, thinker, blogger and a generally amazing guy. He gets the BPP. He loves his family, he inspires the social media world, and he works really hard. Check out his insights from SXSW 2008. To use Chris’ words – it was a kick as time!
Over the next few days I will will be posting the video interviews I conducted in the SXSW BlogHaus, sponsored by AMD and b5 media and produced in conjunction with PodTech and The Conversation Group.
Part Red Carpet, part Charlie Rose, these interviews show the energy and vibe that is SXSW. It was a honor to participate and I look forward to seeing you all there next year! Enjoy!
Show Highlights: In this episode, Robert Scoble of FastCompany.tv and Loren Feldman of 1938 Media talk about the A-list – and what exactly the “A” stands for (it’s not what you think). Robert describes SXSW as the “walking twitter conference.” Loren talks about his appreciation for the melding of art and new media. For those who think there is no love lost between these two – think again! In addition to all the good vibes, both Loren and Robert agree that Qik is the break out hit of the show. Of course, it goes without saying that Hugh bags and WineLibrary.tv gear were the hottest schwag! (Check out the t-shirt I’m sporting).

SXSW Interactive is off and running. Characterized by some as “Spring Break for Geeks”, the best and brightest in social media and online strategy have descended on on Austin, TX (which we all know is the killer app – see picture above).
It’s 10:15 AM – the bloghaus isn’t officially open yet, but already we’ve got a bunch of cool people hanging: @davidparmet @maggiefox @gapingvoid @heiko @technosailor @1938media. They just keep streaming in!
Sponsored by AMD and b5media, the room is full of rock stars, refreshments and rebel blogers.
