    My Take on SXSW Interactive on Media Bullseye

    By Laura Thomas, ABC | March 19th, 2008

    When Sarah Wurrey put out a call on Twitter for people to write about SXSW for her Media Bullseye site, I said “Hey, I’m going to the conference. I can write something if you like!” Media Bullseye provides media, public relations and marketing professionals with news and commentary about the modern communications landscape. So the audience sounded a lot like myself. I suggested the topic of what non-geeks could gain from attending a techie conference like SXSW Interactive, and she took the bait.

    Here’s how she billed in on their front page:

    “As Media Bullseye’s coverage of the aftermath of 2008’s South By Southwest Interactive continues, Dell’s Laura P. Thomas makes a case for attending. She sells the event as far more than just ‘Spring Break for Geeks.’ Who will be there next March?”

    I have to brag that Neville Hobson called it “thoughtful”!
