How To Blog, Party, Learn, Promote & Network Like A Rockstar At SXSW 2009Authored by Rohit Bhargava on March 13, 2009 - 11:28am.
 As I write this, I'm on the
plane headed to South By Southwest (SXSW) in Austin for my third year.
One big question newbies and veterans of the show are likely thinking
about is how to get the most out of their experience given the flood of
events, people, conversations and opportunities that the show will
have. I did a quick Twitter search for "#sxsw" yesterday afternoon and
it had 100 new conversations using the keyword over just 60 seconds.
Equated to meteorological terms, SXSW isn't a flood or a tornado - it's
an ELE (Extinction Level Event).

Heroes Creator Tim Kring To Keynote at Future of Television Forum West 2009Authored by Jay Baage on January 13, 2009 - 9:50am.
 It's our great pleasure to announce that Tim Kring will keynote at our upcoming Future of Television Forum West 2009 on March 24-25. Wired describes Tim Kring (creator, executive producer and writer, Heroes) as a "modern TV
creator who thinks outside of the boobtube." "When I pitched Heroes, I knew an important element to getting
on air was how it can incorporate the Internet. I'm sort of a student of
television, and it doesn't take a genius to figure out that things are changing
quickly. Production costs are going up. We're losing eyeballs. We have to reach
people in other ways," said Kring in an exclusive interview with Wired. In
this rare opportunity to meet one of television's most successful creators (Heroes, Chicago Hope, Providence, Crossing Jordan)
at Future of Television West, you will have the chance to hear how Kring is
using an alternative–reality game, webcomics and online social networking
to enhance one of television's most popular shows. Kring joins a great line-up which includes Dick Glover, CEO, Funny of Die Networks and many more TBA.
Jim Griffin To Keynote at Digital Music Forum East 2009Authored by Jay Baage on January 13, 2009 - 8:16am.
 We are pleased to announce that Jim Griffin is confirmed as a keynote speaker for Digital Music Forum East 2009. For the past year, Jim Griffin has
advised Warner Music Group (NYSE: WMG) on digital distribution and licensing models with
the goal of bringing an end to the litigation that has put a wedge between the
major labels and their customers and replacing it with a regular flow of income
for right holders. The project known as Choruss, which is being incubated at
Warner and is planned to be rolled out as a non-profit with Griffin at the helm, proposes to build a
small music-royalty fee into university tuition payments received from
students, and, if successful, could be expanded to make ISPs the collector of
the fees. In this keynote presentation and Q&A, Griffin will give attendees an exclusive look
under the hood of Choruss, an initiative that just could save the music
industry. Don't miss the opportunity to hear from and meet the man who CNN Money calls "one of the sharpest
minds in digital music."

A recent TV interview with Caldwell embedded above. Howard Stringer: The Seven Habits of Highly Effective CE CompaniesAuthored by Paul Sweeting on January 8, 2009 - 8:36am.
 LAS VEGAS--The most compelling thing on display at Sony chairman Sir Howard Stringer's CES keynote this morning was a short clip from the upcoming Disney/Pixar movie "Up."
Why was the chairman of Sony plugging a Disney picture? Because Sir
Howard was borrowing Disney chief creative officer and Pixar founder
John Lasseter to shill for Blu-ray, and where there's a quid there must
be a quo. The fact that Sony is still dragging Hollywood luminaries up
on stage to defend promote Blu-ray tells you all you
need to know about where Sony really thinks about how the Blu-ray
revolution is coming along (you WON for chrissakes). "Never have I been
as excited by a technology as I am with Blu-ray," Lasseter enthused.
"Once you have it, you can’t go back."

Jay on behalf of the DMW Team Image by satosphere Analysis: Cisco-Vision To Be Revealed at CESAuthored by Paul Sweeting on December 30, 2008 - 2:18am.
 After talking the talk for several years (and spending the dough), Cisco Systems will take its first step toward walking the consumer-electronics walk next month when it unveils a new wireless home stereo system at CES designed for streaming high-quality audio around the house. The most interesting bit of news in the New York Times report, however, may be the other home networking ideas Cisco is kicking around.
Newsweek: Lessig Argues FCC Must GoAuthored by Ned Sherman on December 24, 2008 - 4:23am.
 In a Newsweek Web Exclusive, Lawrence Lessig, a professor at Stanford Law School and outspoken critic of big media's use of copyright to stifle innovation, argues that President Obama should put pressure on Congress "to shut down the FCC and similar vestigial regulators, which put stability and special interests above the public good." Lessig argues that in their place, Congress should create a new agency called the Innovation Environment Protection Agency (iEPA), with the mission of "minimal intervention to maximize innovation." Lessig believes that we will continue to stifle innovative companies like Skype and YouTube if we do not demolish the regulators that oversee our digital pipelines. Lessig's opinion is always an interesting one and his thoughts on the FCC and possible creation of the new iEPA are no exception. The article is available online.
