SXSW & BarCampAustin: Day 1

March 11, 2007 in BarCamp, OpenID by kveton

Great day yesterday in Austin, TX … totally fun, great crowd and amazing turnout. What I love about SXSW is that being in Austin its central to the US. This means its easy to for anybody to get to it … for the East or West coast its 3 hours. Not only that, its in early March … nothing happens in March and the weather here is amazing. Sunny, 80 degrees or so (although a little humid) … :-)

Twitter is the thing of the conference … so many people are using Twitter its amazing. They have a great flat panel Flash app that is showing the latest Twitter updates in the main registration area. Absolute genius.

The evening was good as well. Lots of parties, lots of people, lots of lines and lots to drink … haha … :-) Austin has a great nightlife and I was amazed at how many people kept coming out of the woodwork … not all of them were SXSW people either. Really fun.

Looking forward to today; lots of good panels ahead and the trade show floor opens up as well. Bummer I’m heading out tonight for Portland … would love to hang out for a few more days with everybody.
