SXSW LimeWire party at Club DeVille

Late afternoon and early evening SXSW sometimes gets off to a slow start. Some guests are dragging in from a day of panels, speeches or workshops. Others are just beginning their SXSW days after other responsibilities (like editing entertainment copy in the newsroom).

LimeWire is a digital music store, and its counterpart, LimeSpot, is a social networking tool that connects musicians to their fans. Naturally, the cool company’s three parties (Tuesday at Club DeVille, Thursday and Friday at the Dirty Dog) were geared to interactive and music crowds combined.

The Low Lows kicked off the evening with a strange blend of electronica and country vocals. We talked with Sara Goldstein from Sydney, Australia, who runs The Bargain Queens, a shopping site, Kristen Ross, a designer for Tribeza, David Yeu, a Web developer for New York-based Lime Wire, Walter Driver of LoveTube and others, mostly about the organic way that blogs, Web sites and other online material develop, leaving traditional marketing out to dry.
