SXSW Roundup
The whole event was better than we all thought it was going to be. Not only was it nice to get out of Holland’s daily work but it was refreshing to hear what is going on in the web community.
This year the topics ranged from Design and How to run your business to Accessability and microformats. Microformats were a big discussion point in a variety of panels and personal conversations.
Joe Clark ended up taking some extremely good notes while liveblogging most of the event. I decided to link to his descriptions as well as my own below.

If you would like, you can download all my notes and video that I took while at the conference. I was hoping to have this all organized and presented nicely online but that just doesn’t look like it will happen anytime soon. So feel free to download (13.3 MB) what I have.
