What’s going on today:
I was expecting some news from Nintendo along the lines of Sony’s announcements yesterday, but instead we got this. BOOORING!
God bless Prentiss Riddle for creating this searchable SXSW Interactive schedule (as in searchable through your browser’s “Find” option, not by search box). It’s always the seemingly little things that turn mere mortals into heroes for the ages.
I’m still not sure what panels I’m checking out yet, but this certainly helps.
My story about Austin blogging has been posted. This one was a toughie to write.
Do you like the “Is Blogging Dead?” headline on the Austin360 home page? If this were TV news it would have been, “Can blogging kill you? We’ll tell you at 10.”

What? Blogging isn't dead! It's just getting started. Personal blogging is a dying breed because lives change, people change, and priorities shift. For those who want to blog without the pressure of keeping it up, we have Myspace and other tools now.
I predict that business and political blogs will be a must in the near future, just like having email or a website.
1) Active Rain is a real estate blogging network that started with a few hundred bloggers just last summer and now has over 21,000 members in the industry signed up.
2) My TexasRealtyBlog is hotter than ever, but becaued people want faster, more interactive news.
