Next weekend I’m going to my first South by Southwest Interactive and I’m pretty psyched. I’ve heard nothing but good things about it and have been impressed with the steady stream of announcements and community blog postings about all the cool things there will be to do.
Last night I read about this neat contest designed to get people to interact. Basically, they’re picking a random person every day and, if you find and take a picture of that person, you win an iPod Nano. But you don’t know who that person is until after the contest, so the only way to increase your odds of winning is by taking lots of pictures, uploading them to Flickr, and tagging them appropriately.
PS If you’re also going and you have a blog, I encourage you to contact me to get on the SXSW blogroll, which you can see in the right sidebar of my blog. Most of the people listed are running it on their blogs, as is the SXSW Community Blog. (Here’s the code for putting it on your site.)
