BusinessWeek's Sarah Lacy says she did her best interviewing Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg during yesterday's SXSW keynote. The (hostile) crowd there begs to differ.Add to the drama a quote destined for the annals of the Professional Journalism Hall of Fame, if there is such a thing, a message to the crowd from Ms. Lacy:
SXSW Swag

As anyone who has been to SXSW (a huge music, film and interactive conference happening now in Austin, TX) knows, after you have registered for your badge, you have the chance to go downstairs to a different room where you will pick up your "big bag." It's the canvas bag with all the brochures, flyers, magazines, and other assorted free stuff that you get as a registrant to the event.

No Facebook Music Details In SxSW Keynote

Just in time for SXSW, I am really pleased to announced that Cerado has launched a handy "Unofficial Pocket Guide" that is based on the beta of Cerado Ventana.

Paste Magazine's Caren Kelleher has taken a look at emerging trends at SXSW and found that just as the conference is receiving increasing criticism for getting too big, 20% more bands than ever before have already been accepted to official showcases. Kelleher counts 1594 bands in 2008 vs. 1331 in 2007.

I had the opportunity to participate in a panel discussion at the Search Engine Strategies show in NY all about Social Media Optimization. It was interesting to see how the idea has progressed and search pros are implementing tactics and techniques for social media marketing.
Dan Rather's Blogging "Gray Area"
By Andy Beal - Wed, 03/14/2007 - 11:44am.
CNET sat down with former CBS news anchor Dan Rather at the recent SXSW conference and got his opinion on everything from blogs to net neutrality.

Interestingly, Rather believes there is room for bloggers as serious journalists.
