So I just spent the wildest 4 day weekend down in Austin, TX for South by South West (SXSW), affectionately known as ‘South by’. The first 5 days of the conference are dedicated to ‘interactive’ which brings out all of the ce’web’rities. Only two weeks into running UberCab and this biz trip takes me to [...]
