Congratulations to @rar624 who won our Dine With Dino photo contest today.  People throughout SXSW took pictures of these prehistoric pals, and our favorite photo submission of the day won a $100.00 gift certificate to a local Austin restaurant.

While our stay in Texas has come to a conclusion, we certainly had a fantastic time attending panels, meeting new friends, eating delicious BBQ at the “Meat Up” and enjoying the nightlife.  Looking forward to next year already, and you never know—Pterodactyl, T-Rex, and the rest of the gang may come back from extinction again.  To check out more pictures from the dinosaurs’ time at SXSW click here.

Dino SXSW Scrapbooking

3/15/10 - Posted by Jennifer Hodges under Events, OneRiot Community

While bloodthirsty and terrifying, you may be surprised to find out that dinosaurs are in fact sentimental creatures.  Yesterday was their first day on the town at SXSW, and those little guys had so much fun they decided to make a scrapbook. To follow their adventures around Austin, check out their online album.  They’ll be updating it throughout the next couple days as they meet new people and scare some panelists.

These prehistoric predators will be back again only for the next two days, so keep a sharp lookout for them.  If you snap a picture with these little beasts and are the first to meet us at our secret Loopt restaurant location, (OneRiot & Taptu tweets will let you know,) you snag a $100.00 gift certificate to grab some grub.

Happy Hunting!

SXSW // Dining with Dino

3/05/10 - Posted by Courtney Walsh under Events, OneRiot News, OneRiot Partnerships

Dinosaurs are coming to Austin, and they’re ready for dinner.

OneRiot is teaming up with Taptu (the leading mobile search engine) and Loopt (a location-based social mapping service) at the SXSW Interactive Festival to bring a herd of hungry, prehistoric creatures to Austin, TX.  Using cellphones, geo-tagging and status updates, Dining with Dino will use the year’s most popular technological advances to bring SXSW attendees back to where it all began: with huge, flesh-eating reptiles.

On the days of March 14, 15 and 16th, thirty inflatable - though massively terrifying - dinosaurs will be abandoned at SXSW hot spots, wearing only a nametag and a set of directions.

#SXSWi conference attendees brave enough to interact with the beasts will unlock a world of dino-sized dinners, as their journey through panels, parties and downtown Austin leads T-Rex and friends to free meals at secret destinations. Just follow @OneRiot and @Taptu Twitter accounts to learn when and where to bring the dinos to score *free drinks and grub* for yourselves and a handful of friends.

To top this off, Taptu also added the Palm Pre and HTC Magic to the list of mobiles that can access the hot realtime web search results from OneRiot via Taptu. They also gave it a rad facelift. If you haven’t heard, black is definitely the new white.
