Okay Day 3 is over and as I’m drying off from the quick hot tub dunkin’, I’ll blast off another recap for ya. Today saw a crazy start with the time change. Once we finally got into the sessions, we got back on track, even though some of the panels were disappointing. The SXSW Block Party helped pick things back up real fast. Tonight I finally decided that the film portion of SXSW just isn’t all that cracked up to be. More discovery on another day of SXSW, here we go!
I’ve been using Google Reader as my news aggregator for some time now. Now some people might say that feed readers are dead along with RSS, but I beg to differ. It’s the best way for me to catch up on news using a uniform interface for easy scanning. If I want to go in depth, I can read the whole article there or open in a new tab. I had a hard time sharing any articles I find worthy of telling others about. The same thought leaders of today who say RSS is dead are the same ones who exclaim that Twitter is the king of up to second news. Until the middle of last year, there was no way for me to share links in a fast and easy way plus post it to my Twitter followers. Now I can with Google Reader’s ‘Send To’ feature.
