    I guess I'm #14, unofficially of course ;-)
  • Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins · 1 year ago
    No worries - I envision at least two more posts in this series, so we'll get you in there.

    I knew I was forgetting some folks.

    Hey Mark -

    Don't forget about austin 2.0 (www.austin20.biz)!

    Basically, austin 2.0 joins people primarily in Austin, TX interested or involved in Web 2.0 technology, companies, or who simply enjoy the Web 2.0 lifestyle. The network fosters discussion around Web 2.0 trends, start ups, and news in the Web 2.0 community.

    Thanks :o)

    Thanks for the shout-out Mark, you rule. Y'all reading this should totally vote for this SXSW panel if you love Austin:

    Thanks, Mark! I'm flattered by the recognition and honored to be included with this great list of folks. Sorry I missed you guys on your Austin stop -- next time, OK?
  • Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins · 1 year ago
    Absolutely. I don't know the link for it, but if you vote for the panel Carla Thompson proposed, she's said if it's approved I'll be on it, so I'll have a great excuse to be there.

    Michelle Greer IS Austin! Way to call it Mark!

    Wow, Mark, just saw this. Thanks for the mention! Anytime you want to hang in Austin, just give us a shout.

    Definitely will do. I see you at just about every Texas thing I go to, so I'm sure we'll catch up soon.

    Now the secret is out: Austin isn't just a great place for breakfast tacos...

    One thing happening in Austin is that the different geek sectors are actually connected. Some people like Connie Reece, Dusty Reagan, Rich Vázquez, and William Hurley are quite active at connecting people. Café Caffeine has been a venue for Austin Jelly, CC Salon, the Social Media Club, and other geek-savvy events in ATX. While SXSWi and BarCampAustin only happen once a year, local people who were able to connect through these events often stay in touch (maybe through Twitter, made popular during SXSWi 2007).
    So, sure, a list of important blogs can be very useful. These are all interesting destinations. But the scene goes beyond individual blogs.

    We'll get to those in some future posts, Alexandre, I promise. Next up are the corporate sites, then the non-profits, and then of course everything I missed in the previous posts. Thanks for the tips - feel free to ping me via email (mark@mashable.com) to elaborate!

    This post just makes me pine even more for a move to Austin. Nice stuff, Mark. And here's the link to our AI panel you mentioned. Vote vote!

    Hey! Thanks much for the door64 mention. Next time you're in town, let's meet up in person....though it sounds like you have a long list of people to meet already.

    Cheers,

    Thanks for including austincast in the list. How'd the NYC gig go, can't compare to Austin right Pete?
