Thanks to the awesome blogger-power we sucked up from Sony and Technorati, we’re about to share some of the great stuff we filmed at SXSW. Here’s the official announcement -click away to to learn more about the camera, which was - no joke - small enough to fit in my pocket and easier to use than a frat boy. We had an orange one, so we covered it in glitter nail polish and nicknamed it Lindsay Lohan (weird - the camera is cheap, too).
We brought some doorhangs to SXSW, just because it’s nice to keep people out of your hotel room when you’re “blogging.” Some of our pals not at the conference wanted to check them out, so here they are… but if you’re a company that might consider working with us in the future - eh, don’t look at these.
More after the jump…
There’s a reason they call SXSWi spring break for geeks, and it has as much to do with water as it does with the relentless parties. The thing is, things come in seas here - seas of laptops, seas of hightops, seas of half-shaven guys in horn rimmed glasses - and even though the kid sitting next to you may have found a way to hack into the PA system from his iPhone, it takes more to make waves here than a few techie tricks.
We’re about to track down the things that aren’t all that rad at SXSWi - and hunt down a few things that are (and we’re doing it on camera). If you have something you think we should check out, let us know by shooting me a direct message on twitter - we’ll do our best to swing by, get the rundown, and snap some pics.
Off we go!
A few things happen at every conference, the most dependable of which is having a slinger of promo thrown at your face. You land a particularly tree-filled one here - and just so you don’t feel left out: a shot from the Big Bag o’ SXSW.
No idea what that mitten is supposed to be for - our guess is to hold jellybeans. Free tee and stickers to the first person who comes up with something stellar to do with it (and we’ll even throw the mitten in, yayyy).
Off to the Web Awards reception party - catch you there?
It’s almost take-off time, and we are antsy for Austin. We’ll be tracking the parties, the panels, and everything inbetween (well, just stuff we can publish without a lawsuit), so put your frogskins on, RSS up, and get ready for a glorious geek break.
Fellow SXSWers can track us on Twitter by following OneRiot or COinteractive. To party with us and some other awesome companies on Sunday, just click here. And, if you want to reach us immediately, just follow me (but heads up: potty mouth).
We’re a finalist, so if you love us - click click click! There are plenty of other great webby things to vote for there too, and you can do it once a day until the 6th. Oh, and if you’re going to be at sxsw and want to say hi, drop us a note - we want to meet you.
Since mid-November, we at OneRiot have been bringing you the latest breaking news stories in our own special way. Since then we’ve shared heaps of good times, the memories of which will live on forever. Remember that time we warned you about the really deadly things that can kill you? That was awesome. Or how about that time we helped you get a kidney over Craigslist? Sweet, right? As a result of both of those incidents, you’re still alive today.
So how can you give back? We’re glad you collectively asked - here’s how you do it:
There’s this thing called the 12th Annual SXSW Web Awards in which OneRiot was nominated as a finalist, and we need your help in nabbing one of the awards - the People’s Choice Award. If you, the people, think you can choose us as the best new blog among the five SXSW has selected, we win! (You win, we all win.) It’s all very simple: mouse on over here and vote away.
Thanks for your continued love and clicks - and remember, we love your input (sweet or nasty), so keep that feedback coming!
Yesterday we found out that we’re a finalist in SXSW Interactive’s Web Awards, which totally made us blush and hyperventilate and drink a little extra at happy hour. Not like we needed another reason to make it to Austin for this party of parties - but hey. Now even more of us get to go.
And oh, here’s a secret: If you’re going to be at SXSWi, watch this blog, and this twitter account, and this one too. We’ve got some fun stuff cooking, and we’re dying to talk about it (and we will be soon).
