What do you think we should name it? Send us your ideas and you’ll be entered to win $100.

Facecard goes to SXSW

Friday, March 20th, 2009

Last weekend, our Director of Marketing and I packed up and travelled to Austin, Texas for the annual South by South Interactive Conference. For those of you who are not familiar with SXSW Interactive, it is where over 11,000 web creators, entrepreneurs, and other creative types congregate to discuss emerging technologies.

When we first arrived in Austin, it was overwhelming and exciting to say the least. The convention center was filled with the brightest minds in technology and it seemed like there were more iPhones around than people. With over 200 events happening each day, we had to decide how to maximize our time there.

We went from panel to panel and left each session with all of these new ideas about how to make Facecard better. The recurring theme through each panel was that member feedback is of the utmost importance. We love hearing from all of you and want you to know that we are listening.

Well, we lived through the action packed week and returned to Nashville much more technologically savvy than when we left. I highly recommend SXSW Interactive and will go ahead and say that I’d love to return next year.

Back to work.
