SXSW Guidelines For Meeting Me - 1938 Media

so, i’ve never been to sxsw.  i’m sure if i really wanted to go - i could find a reason to get down there.  maybe b/c the opportunity hasn’t smacked me in the face, i’m a bit of a cynic.  so much noise that any real biz opportunity is probably muted.

anyway, loren’s being both funny and pretty practical here.  i’d much rather have a unique relationship with someone than try to fly to texas and sandblast a bunch of people just like me with stuff that might not matter.

By/Association | Manifesto

It’s not about getting help with your current need or project. It’s about connecting to people that make you better — to inspire more action, better ideas, and new ways of seeing the world.

What if your blog had a Christmas card?

Let’s get real for a minute.

Yes, we live in a digital world and hardly engage in interpersonal communication unless we absolutely have to. Instead, we push pixels at each other. With that said, how interesting would it be to visualize every single person behind making this digital transmission possible? It still takes people, right?

I’d need Marco and David in it, everyone else whom they work with, everyone from the server company that hosts Tumblr, the people from the factories who created the computer I’m using, everyone at the ISP I’m using right now, everyone from Google’s Chrome dev team (the browser I’m using), etc, etc, etc.

I’d imagine the photo, or at least the amount of people in it, would be quite large. Never forget that.
