South By SouthWest (SXSW) Interactive is the web, blog, RSS, and other three letter acronym part of the SXSW conference and festival here in Austin. I finally paid the $250 registration fee (today’s the last day for that, it goes up another $50 to the walk-in registration rate after January 13th.) I’ve been once before, in 2003.
This year Jason Kottke, full-time blogger at kottke.org, and Heather Armstrong, supporting her family by blogging at dooce.com, are keynote speakers. I’ve been reading them for quite some time now and look forward to the keynote especially.
I hope to take away inspirations for structured authoring from a techpubs standpoint as well as online technologies that are at the heart of our user’s needs. I’ll post a full report, I’m sure. Anything in particular you’d like me to keep an eye on?
