Heather and Bijoy are a great pair that have a tremendous gift to share with our interactive communities. Their vision brings us all together to form the interactive scene. The interactive scene is bigger that SXSWi. SXSWi is just one facet - a major facet at that. Anyhow, Matthew Parente had some great things to say here: http://www.aperiomarketing.net/blog/2009/03/keep-austin-connected/ I am listening. I think this would be a great place to start aggregating what our interactive communities are thinking about the idea of getting organized so that our Lone Star shines a little brighter.

The community at large has a great deal to gain from a thriving and engaged interactive scene!

John, Thanks for your support and the links. I agree your point that its difficult to pin down one place a THE hub. It's probably more sane to endeavor to be a hub rather than THE hub. Nevertheless I like to go big, and I'm looking for others to join the cause. Over the past few months, I have been impressed with the level of earnest support for what we are trying to do. Are you planning to join the crusade?

Austin is seeing a real surge in interactive and social media, at least according to Austinites. http://budurl.com/ASM100 http://budurl.com/StatesmanSM The way that social media allows people to connect regardless of geography makes it a bit difficult to pin down one place as a physical hub, but I think that Austin definitely has a culture that encourages people to participate. Also if you want to get some time to relax, I'd be happy to go to SxSW in your place. ;) I’ve been hearing about the Interactive Austin conference, I think it’s a great idea.

I, too, am really stoked about this year's IA 09 conference. You know I'm somewhat of a stick in the mud when it comes to interactive marketing conferences, but this year's line up is impressive for a conference of any maturity. I'm especially excited to see Dion speak. He was the most memorable speaker at the O'Reilly web conference when we went 2 years ago, and I expect that his IA 09 keynote will be equally impressive. See you in April! JF You are focused like a Jedi!
