Taking a break from packing and preparing for the SXSW Interactive conference and I thought you would find these links interesting. I’ll be blogging and tweeting (@lostremote) from SXSW starting Friday and will be looking for insights and new developments that will have an impact on local media.
Speaking of “South-by” – if you plan to be in Austin this weekend, join us for a journo-meetup Sunday at 5 pm at Opal Divine’s. It would be great to see the LR community come together to exchange ideas and business cards in Austin. (Steve and Cory declined bankrolling a big shindig. There’s always next year.)
On with the links:
