The conference is focused on people who create content online and giving them a chance to learn how to get better at it and meet all kinds of brands that [...]

I’m attending my third South by Southwest Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas for the next week. I’m lucky to have a job that helps pitch in on an expensive but incredibly engaging experience with tens of thousands of people who tend to think and interact in social media like I do.

I’ve had a chance to wrap up 2010 with a great group of students followed by an awesome winter break with the family. We celebrated the holidays with both sides of our family (we held a mini-Christmas with my husband’s side of the family followed by the full thing with my side). We also got [...]
