Comment on SxSW 2010 Happens by Ryan Boyles

Great panel Jay. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and the link to the Wave. I had not seen that during the session. Catch up with you soon. SXSW has drained my mental battery pack.

Yep. You must!

Jared pulled together folks like Casey from Google and Daniel from Yahoo and I’m there to make sure they all have cold beer during the talk.

What I’m hoping to explore further is the crowd sitting in front of us and their role in this… sure, I’ve got strong opinions on the topics but I think the Q&A will be top notch… or perhaps it will involve chairs flying… metaphorically.

See you!

Ooh. Okay, if it’s you & Jared and it’s on this topic? I guess I’ll have to be responsible and show up! ;)
http://is.gd/a6GoJ — I was looking at the collaborative media aspect… Looks like you guys are going WAY further in depth.

Now you have me curious what the microbrew was. I’ve been in NC twice now (both last fall) and had a lovely Winter Ale there that I know was local. Sadly, I didn’t write it down.

See you in Austin

Larry does love his chili cheese dogs.

Thanks for the flower pot love. And thanks for the humorous presentation.

Oddly enough Larry the Oracle Guy came up in my database class the next day. All I could think of were chili dogs.

I had some at TechCrunch50 and it was actually pretty tasty. You get the great taste of beef jerky with the bonus of random uncontrollable vibration.

Jay – You rocked. There is nothing more amazing than caffeinated Slim Jims. I’m almost tempted to go out and try that madness.

Loved The Redneck Guide to Silicon Valley – and sex and porn is yet another connection – porn pushes the edges of technology and rednecks are some of the biggest consumers. Cheers.

Dammit, I missed your presentation live. But I heard it rocked. So now, in order to figure out the redneck angle on Silicon Valley, I’m going to have to watch that video. PLEASE tell me where, in the timeline, your preso lives!! (I’m having a @glowbird hangover and don’t want to accidentally see my own just yet.)

I had a great time presenting DoLeaf, and I’m glad we made the list of interesting ideas. We’d love it if you’d turn our name into a link to http://doleaf.com We’re looking for all the pagerank love we can get.

I totally agree with you about ViralPrints being a “Damn, wish I’d thought of that!” idea. It’s simple and brilliant. I’m not surprised at all that they’re already profitable.

I don’t remember who but someone from tc said that it cost something like $60,000. I can’t find a source though, I’ll see if I can. It was on twitter I think.

Hey Jared,

Thanks :)

Sure thing. Invariably, as panel selection consolidates further there will be ample time to collide panelists and alternates. Let’s keep in mind and in touch.

Hi Jay,

This is a pretty rockin presentation you’ve put together here. Can’t wait to hear more. I’m putting on a not-too-related talk but one that involves Google Wave and other current challenges/ideas for today’s communication environment, and I’d certainly enjoy picking your brain. Needless to say, this stuff relates a lot to what I do, so it’d be good to catch up.

I hope this talk gets chosen…and I appreciate your stopping by my talk and thumbing it.

Cheers.

I think that the animosity towards a manager can stem from treating problem solvers as quota workers. This is sometimes described as trying to make the creative put out in a timely fashion. Well, as they (those that are creative) say, you cannot rush inspiration.

Very well said. I wish more managers understood that this is the quickest way to lower employee morale. Not everyone fits into the same bucket. Take the time to learn your employees and find out how they work best, and then give them the tools (and the freedom) to help them succeed.

The email and spam conflict wont be resolver but trust me when the spammers realise what twitter and facebook is spam will be comming to social network near you and leave you begging for the good old days of email.

Email is commodity twitter and Facebook is novelties and this might mean that when your among the hip hip people everyone will pretend theyr moving on to the new, but that dont mean that something will fade away in the near future, though it looks like email is being acepted as a more formal way of comunication, pushing the informal stuff back unto phones and chat system.

Very interesting. Do we ditch email or improve upon it? This is actually a much bigger question that I initially thought. Twitter and other like services are all about short messages. There still needs to be a method of transmitting large, or long messages. Is that email or something else we haven’t seen yet?
