I’m still catching up on my SXSW reports and feeds even though SXSWi has been over for a week now! I found three posts from TheCanadianGirl with her notes from some of the sessions:
- What Teens want online and on their mobile phones (btw it’s more than ringtones and porn)
- A/B Testing
- Cognitive Seduction (aka Kathy Sierra’s talk)
Reading up on these sessions I’m torn between wishing I had gone to them and wishing the SXSWi guide gave better descriptions/titles for the sessions. When you have a multitrack conference, you just have to give people good information about each session so they can choose wisely.
Of course, I still might have wound up hanging out in the BlogHaus most of the time.
There were so many panels on similar topics at the same time, they should have created more of a designer track, a developer track, a blogger track, etc… Allowing us to at least know roughly to which area the panel belonged and hopefully avoiding too much clash - there sometimes were 4 panels belonging to the same track at the same time.
Shame I didn’t finish building my cloning machine in time!
