Mashable: the paper

And so it begins

Sxsw officially begins today and so jetlagged like crazy we made our way down to the Austin Convention Centre to register and pick up our badges. On arrival we found a HUGE line snaking its way around the halls of the centre. To put that in some kind of perspective- the convention centre is Texas big, meaning it's about the size of Melbourne itself. As far as I know SXSW don't put a cap on how many badges they sell meaning anyone that wants to come and has the $ can...judging by the size of it, perhaps it's time for a rethink of that.

SXSW

Hauling my geeky self off to Austin, Texas later today for the massive SXSW - expect insights into digital goodness and random amazingness from the Lone Star!
