<br><br>
It's been nearly a week since I arrived back home and I've recuperated enough from the festivities, work and recording to make this post. Never mind that I saw Billy Bob Thornton and his band play, I was working angles!
<br><br>
What I can say is that it was an event that was really about connecting with nerd brethren. My BlogTalkRadio cohorts and I recorded tons of content and did multiple live shows. But at the core of all of it was connecting with people that we typically only interact with online.
<br><br>
Aside from connecting, I did have another experience worth mentioning here. Like every other conference I have attended there is a simple take-away if you keep your eyes open. Much like TechCrunch40 and the hand washing lesson. That was a great one.
<br><br>
The lesson learned from SXSW interactive was this: 
<br><br>
Thousands of attendees, very few media makers. 
<br><br>
That's it.
<br><br>
The AMD B5media Bloghaus was filled day after day with the same people. They were a minority of the attendees numbering around 100 I would say. Of that number, even a smaller amount were making media of any kind - blog posts, audio or video. I would guess 40, tops.
<br><br>
I was left wondering why there weren't more attendees outside of the Bloghaus posse making media instead of consuming it. I don't know the reason. 
<br><br>
I am having trouble articulating exactly what it meant and means to me. So I will leave it at that. Lots of people at a media making conference and only a handful actually doing it.<br><br><table bgcolor="#efefef" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1"><tr><td><table bgcolor="#ffffff" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" border="0">

<br><br>
It's been nearly a week since I arrived back home and I've recuperated enough from the festivities, work and recording to make this post. Never mind that I saw Billy Bob Thornton and his band play, I was working angles!
<br><br>
What I can say is that it was an event that was really about connecting with nerd brethren. My BlogTalkRadio cohorts and I recorded tons of content and did multiple live shows. But at the core of all of it was connecting with people that we typically only interact with online.
<br><br>
Aside from connecting, I did have another experience worth mentioning here. Like every other conference I have attended there is a simple take-away if you keep your eyes open. Much like TechCrunch40 and the hand washing lesson. That was a great one.
<br><br>
The lesson learned from SXSW interactive was this: 
<br><br>
Thousands of attendees, very few media makers. 
<br><br>
That's it.
<br><br>
The AMD B5media Bloghaus was filled day after day with the same people. They were a minority of the attendees numbering around 100 I would say. Of that number, even a smaller amount were making media of any kind - blog posts, audio or video. I would guess 40, tops.
<br><br>
I was left wondering why there weren't more attendees outside of the Bloghaus posse making media instead of consuming it. I don't know the reason. 
<br><br>
I am having trouble articulating exactly what it meant and means to me. So I will leave it at that. Lots of people at a media making conference and only a handful actually doing it.<br><br><table bgcolor="#efefef" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1"><tr><td><table bgcolor="#ffffff" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" border="0">
