At SXSW Interactive 2008, I delivered a talk called Weird Turn Pro: Crowdsourcing for Creatives. I promised to put my slides up afterward, so here they are on SlideShare. You can also read recaps thanks to Katie and Noor.
Thanks for coming, SXSW! I had a great time and I hope you did too.
Just a note that I’ll be speaking this Saturday 8 March at South by Southwest Interactive. Here’s the deets:
The Weird Turn Pro: Crowdsourcing For Creatives
The internet and web technologies have torn down a lot of walls. But for every new, empowering opportunity, there’s some slimeball trying to make a quick buck off “harnessing user-generated content.” […]

Heather and I are in London for FOWA. We did our talk this morning, which was like 2am in our heads, and I think it went pretty good. A few kind souls were kind enough to write up what they saw: Véro, Suw Charman, and Stephanie Booth (who took the photo above). Between the headcold […]
On Saturday I spoke at a wonderful seminar at SFAI. I realized I’ve been pretty negligent about posting my schedule here. So, here are a few places you’ll be able to catch me in the future.

Thanks to the nice folks at O’Reilly for including me in the TOC (Tools of Change) conference, and thanks to everyone who showed up! There was a young man who asked a very smart question at the end. I think his name was Tim. A good head on his shoulders, that guy. He’s going places.
Anyway, […]
I’m thrilled to be taking part in O’Reilly’s first-ever TOC (Tools of Change) conference. Here’s my session info.
The Rise of Authentic Media
The audience is taking over! From YouTube videos to Flickr photos to Threadless shirts, communities are making the media they once just consumed. But how do you empower a community AND get great results? […]
With SXSW fresh in mind and Web 2.0 on the way, I wanted to take a moment to jot down what I think makes for a great panel discussion. I’ve been on, and moderated, a few panels in the last 10 years, so I think I’ve earned the right to have an opinion about what makes a good one. And, in my experience, it all comes down to the moderator.
A small collection of thoughts after attending two conferences in two weeks.
The US government is full of people who are really passionate about what they’re doing. In other jobs, you “work.” But when you work for the government, you “serve.”
Those of us who have been making webstuff since before the word “weblog” came around, myself […]
Another one of my favorite sessions at SXSW Interactive 2006 was Zero-Advertising Brands, where we got to watch Maggie Mason talk to the guys from skinnyCorp, the makers of Threadless among other creative commerce/community hybrids.
One of my favorite things about talking to folks that really get the user-generated web, is that when they tell […]
