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.
Attention Austin, especially SXSW Interactive participants: This man is named Derek Powazek. He means you no harm. You may find him wandering aimlessly through your town for the next few days. If you see him, approach with caution as he can be easily startled. Please remember, he doesn’t remember your name, even if you met […]
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.” […]
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 […]

Chuck Olsen was there working on a documentary about weblogs and caught it on tape (we were […]
Is there going to be a Fray Cafe at SXSW this year?
Answer: Yes, oh yes.
» I remember when SXSW was not all about weblogs. Of course, back then, it was all about plugging your company. But at least, back then, when you saw people typing into laptops in the audience, you didn’t suspect they were chatting with each other.

I am at SXSW. In a panel about weblogs and journalism. With wireless internet acces. On my shiny new Powerbook. I am a nerd.
And, yet, I refuse to “live blog.” Sorry.
Instead, come see me tell a story tonight at Fray Cafe. It’s gonna be a doozy.
Pardon me while I toot my own horn and make you an offer you can’t refuse.
Operators are standing by!
On March 24-27, I’ll be speaking at User Interface 7 West in beautiful San Francisco. It’s a fantastic conference – informative, deep, and packed with brainy speakers like Jared Spool and Molly Holzschlag. The spectrum of topics […]
