I'm back from SXSW....what a great conference! I say every time I go that it's just like drinking from the firehose, cliche though that may be. You walk in the door of the Austin Convention Center and you are so overwhelmed. Adding to that feeling the past two years: The conference has -- I heard -- doubled in size in both 2007 and 2008. Thousands and thousands of web people all in one place at one time.

I've got my conference notes in our SXSW blog. I also attended a panel moderated by uber-connected Guy Kawasaki, but I found it hard to take notes on it. Billed as "True Stories from Social Media," the panel brought together six people who have diverse experience building, selling, using and running social media sites. It really was fascinating.
