I recently returned from SXSW Interactive 2010 and I am wiped… but I feel even more inspired and excited, and cannot wait to do it all over again next year. Below are the Top 3 things I learned in awesome Austin.
1. Much of the action isn’t in the actual conference, but in the serendipitous encounters in bars, the streets, and the lounges of the conference hall. It pays to say ‘Hi’ to everyone, you never know the person that could turn into an interesting lead or business contact. For instance, I met the lovely Eliane Fiolet from UberGizmo who came to watch my panel and got to attend The Flaming Lips concert with the very fun Josh Guttman from Surphace. Among many others, Evan Cohen from foursquare, SEO Whiz Tony Adam, and mediagazer’s Megan McCarthy were also a joy to meet.

Last week we were nominated for the Affiliates4U Community Choice Publisher of the Year award.
We’re really honoured to get this nomination as it comes from our affiliate marketing peers, and we’re excited to see the results in June.
The competition is fierce, so we’ve done handstand push-ups and dressed up as a superhero in a shameless attempt to get some votes, or at the very least entertain.
We hope you enjoy our little video, and if you are an A4U member, don’t forget to vote on the A4U site!

It all looked like a proper conference. Walking into the Kensington Olympia Conference Centre on Monday this week, I was greeted by rows of booths; filled to the brim with marketing gimmicks, compulsory LinkedIn lanyards, iPhone twiddling yuppies and an atmosphere so thick with buzzwords you could slice it with a butterknife.
The Social Media World Forum seemed like an interesting proposition: ”Shaping the future of Social Media’. I was expecting a challenging, dynamic event filled with top SocMed minds, that would provide a sandbox for new ideas.
