Small town secrets at SXSW

South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Festival is one of the biggest, geekiest events anywhere. This year over 19,000 people registered, making it easily the largest event I've participated in and much larger than my hometown.

This year marked the second in a row where I was selected to present. Barry Moltz and I debuted our "Small Town to Small World: The 7 Secrets of Rural Entrepreneurs." Lots of small town people, and a few big city people, turned out to hear those secrets.

Clips from both of us made it into this wrap up by Aubrey Swanson, along with a number of well-known speakers and keynoters.

Getting Down to Business webinar

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Getting Down to Business with Social Media webinar from eXtension. We had an outstanding group, about 100 in the room, with an active discussion.

Here are the slides in PDF.

We also talked about these two posts, not included in the slides:

• Simple trick to measure social media efforts
• How to respond to online flame attacks

I'd also like to share these useful links from the participants, shared in the chat.
