SXSW Video Round Up: Lisa Nova – YouTube killed the TV Star!

 

Lisa Nova and Danny Diamond blew thru the SXSW BlogHaus. Her YouTube Channel is one of the hottest out there. As I write this, the stats on the site are as follows:

Style: Variety

Joined: June 05, 2006

Last Login: 3 minutes ago

Videos Watched: 10,173

Subscribers: 87,705

Channel Views: 6,232,103

These two are quite the YouTube Team! I grooved on their energy and expertise. I also liked it when Danny grabbed the mike out of my hands. Thank goodness, he improved the shot.

 

SXSW Video Round Up: Cathy Brooks Does the Reveal.

It was an absolute pleasure and honor to interview Cathy Brooks, Executive Producer at Seesmic in the SXSW Bloghaus, sponsored by AMD and b5 media. Cathy served on the steering committee for the conference. In this video she talks about how she maximized the show – personally and professionally.

Cathy is full of amazing energy, and an inspiration to entrepreneurs and artists in the Valley and beyond. Plus – as one of the leading female experts in social media and content, we give her huge props. Seesmic is still in closed beta, so go to the site and request an invite – or email Cathy directly (if you’re an instant gratification kind of guy or gal): cathy (at) seesmic (dot) com.

Watch the video until the end you’ll get to see the fab shirt she’s wearing. We love ya Cath!

SXSW Video Round Up: I’m a Chris Brogan FanGirl!

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!

@sxswbloghaus Bloggers come in but they don’t get out!

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.

PLEASE COME BY: Get to the 3rd FLOOR and then look for ROOM 7. You can also check out EVERYTHING on sxswbloghaus.com and on the Twitter channel.

The BlogHaus TV Channel on Mogulus will also be live streaming throughout the day.

It’s a furry of activity. Social objects everywhere. Come join in on the fun.
