Feeling Ecstatic
Hearing Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer
This past weekend, the annual festival known as South by Southwest (SXSW) wrapped up in Austin, TX - and although I wasn't there to experience the entirety of it all, Userplane definitely was there to represent at the Interactive Conference, held at the beginning of the weeklong event. Unsure of what to expect, I, along with team of Userplaners, setup a booth and enjoyed what we could get out of the capital of the Lone Star state. The people were friendly, the food delicious (mmmm bbq!) and the nightlife was great! SXSW badges were in sight everywhere we went. All of the bars had parties nightly, every theater had long lines, and the vibe of the city was electric. And although the last days we were there were filled with amazing displays of thunder, lightning, and rain, everyone still seemed to be having a good time.
But how was the actual Interactive Conference you may ask? It was awesome! Within the first hour of opening we had already given away over a 100 media kits, along with hundreds of our signature smiley mouse pads! The demand and interest in Userplane applications was definitely there, and people who were first introduced to Userplane at SXSW are still contacting us on a daily basis! It was also nice seeing some current clients, along with some fellow AOLers. Hopefully our experience there will translate into an additional niche of users and sites for us to expand on, and we can continue to grow at a phenomenal pace. While SXSW may be over for now, we anxiously await a Userplane encore next year - so be on the lookout for us! :)
