SxSW Day 1

SxSW Playpen

The first day of South by Southwest was fantastic! They claim almost 8000 people were scheduled made it this year and I would believe it.

My highlight was watching "battle decks". A handful of people ad libbed five minute power point talks to random slides they had never seen before. It was the best comedy I've seen in a long time.

My other panel was on how games are using wikis to promote community. They said you only need a handful active users to make a wiki successful. These users will create 80 percent of the content. The other users will flesh out the wiki and build the community.

The picture is of the South by Southwest Interactive play pen where there is a giant pile of Lego's ready for idle hands.
