Coverage from SXSW

by Allen Weiner  |  March 11, 2009  |  2 Comments

Sunday, March 15 marks my introduction to the multimedia wonders that await me at SXSW in Austin. Until Tuesday, the focus is on “interactive” followed by music from Wednesday on with film running throughout. It will be a busman’s holiday (there’s a term you just don’t hear enough) in that I will be “reporting” from the event via a number of channels, this blog being a main focus on my findings.

In addition to this blog, where I will post video, audio interviews and maybe even the odd picture or two, you can find my video content on YouTube (allen85255). For audio, I have not decided on a good hosting community; any recommendations will be greatly appreciated. I have a new Zoom H2 for good quality audio clips. I am hoping to do a socialcast or two (live streaming over the Web) via Now Live (http://www.nowlive.com/) and will warn everyone as to broadcast time(s). I will also try some live stream on Qik via my Nokia N95 (which has no cell service but works fine via WiFi).

Also, I will be Twittering (or is it Tweeting); you can follow me @allenweiner. If you would like to say hello, just send me a DM on Twitter
