Lawrence Lessig at SXSW, Talking Politics and Culture

frogblog | Mar 14, 2009 02:04PM

I’ve never heard Lawrence Lessig speak, but I’ve enjoyed his blog and his public thoughts for a while. I don’t necessarily agree with everything he says, but damn, does he have a way of saying it. His presentation at SXSW today was passionate and inspiring, and certainly thought-provoking. I chatted about it with Robert Fabricant over a giant plate of barbequed meat, and our discussion walked around the nature of bringing political awareness and participation to the masses. Lessig wasn’t making [...]

I was tempted to add a Friday the 13th image at the top, since this is our second of three superstitious Fridays of 2009. But, there was a more important date to recognize. On March 13th, 2009 the World Wide Web will turn 20 years old. Which begs the question, what will become of the web next year when it's old enough to buy alcohol and gamble in Vegas? Watch out! On a more serious note, the birthday of the [...]

What's a Twitter in Austin?

Three Minds @ Organic | Mar 14, 2009 01:36PM

PepsiCo wants you to be able to see what's happening at one of the biggest idea forums this year. They're not only a huge sponsor of this year's SXSW in Austin, they're running a Twitter-based "visualizer" of happenings and ephemera at the event. Immersing themselves in emerging trends -- namely social media -- is what PepsiCo deems necessary to stay "sharp and innovative" according to Josh Karp, the company's Manager of Digital and Social Media. Their three big brands are individually [...]
