For anyone attending Oracle Open World, I’m planning to give a preview of my SXSW 2009 talk entitled “Not So Simple Any More: RSS’s Bleeding Edge” in the unconference track at OOW. (This will happen regardless of whether or not SXSW selects my talk for inclusion in the 2009 agenda.)
The talk is scheduled for Monday, 22 September 2008 at 2 PM Pacific in Moscone Overlook II. BTW, I’ll probably be spending most of my time in the unconference track at OOW, because I’m just that kind of guy.
At last year’s SXSW I said to myself: “Self, you need to be speaking at this conference next year.”
Help me fulfill my self-fulfilling prophecy and please take a minute to vote for one (or both) of my proposed talks! Unlike the SXSWi Web Awards last year, you don’t have to vote every day — once is plenty.
The first is a solo presentation on the future of RSS.
The second is a panel discussion on whether it’s better to have one horizontal social network like Facebook or loads of smaller, niche social networks.
Thanks for your support.
Voting closes for the SXSW People’s Choice award tomorrow. Don’t forget to cast your final votes for Feedhaus and keep your fingers crossed!
If you’re going to SXSWi, catch up with me in one of the panels by downloading my calendar ICS feed.
As a finalist in the “Technical Achievement” category, we’re also eligible to win a “People Choice” award.
But to do that, we need your votes! Vote early, vote often. (You can vote once per day every day up until March 3rd.)
Thanks!
Also, if you’re local (DC Area), please join us at our SXSW send off party in Courthouse (Arlington, VA) on February 21st.
We’re very pleased to announce that Feedhaus has been selected as a finalist for a prestigious SXSW (South by Southwest) 2008 Web Award!
We’ve been selected, along with four other great nominees, from among a pool of hundreds of sites for the “Technical Achievement” category, which, according to SXSW, describes “sites that are re-inventing and re-defining the technical parameters of our online experience.”
As a finalist, we’re also eligible for the “People’s Choice” award, so please vote for Feedhaus (daily until March 3rd).
Kudos to the SXWS committee for recognizing Feedhaus! Hope to see you in Austin from March 7th-11th for this great conference.
