Not Going to SXSW?
It seems like everyone is going to SXSW this year. It’s clear that SXSW has become the industry’s premier event for social media discussions. But, some of us aren’t going.
What are your plans? Attending or not?

This is my first time going. Last year, I really wanted to go, but it was the week before VON, and I had my priorities, of course. I’m going this year, and I’m thinking it’s going to be the turning point in my career.
We’ll see how THAT turns out. : )

Will be following via twitter and pulver.tv obsessively but alas will be spending the week in the great NYC. Headed to San Jose the following week for VON, which is all my pre-monetization of online video budget allows! Have a fantastic time all!

Was looking forward to going but had to determine priorities for a couple of other conferences.
I guess I’ll be following on Twitter during the week.

No, and I’m bummed b/c I’ve been in the past and it simply does rock.

My first time going. I am really excited!
It’s right in my backyard. I am in Dallas, so it’s fairly simple for me to make the trek.

Well, I look forward to Shama, Chris and Lauren’s tweets. Bummer, but have fun for the rest of us.

I’m not able to go. I’m saving my travel budget for the RSA show in San Fransisco and CTIA in Vegas, both in April. I hear SXSW rocks. I wish I could go.

Oh, how I wish I was going. I moderated a panel on blog design at SXSW a couple of years ago and the group of panelists are gathering for a reunion. Plus, there are other friends attending I’d love to see again. It’s just not in the cards this year though.
