SXSW: AJAX

AJAX
11 MAR 2006 @ 11:30

Jesse James Garret started off this session by telling the story of how he came up with the term AJAX. He basically needed a hook so that business people would understand his presentation without having to listen to a bunch of geeky tech talk.

Dylan Schiemann presented information on the available libraries and tool kits which support AJAX development. I was surprised with the amount of choices.

Dori Smith played devil advocate by listing some of the pitfalls to poor AJAX design. She also mentioned she authored a few books, including Java and Javascript.

SXSW: Podcasting

Podcasting 2.0
11 MAR 2006 @ 10:00

Chris Pirillo setup this presentation as a general Q&A session on Podcasting. Some interesting and lively discussion followed.

Print media wanted to know how to convert their in house talent into a new media of drive time podcasting. How should they go about recruiting talent to product the show. In house vs. outside contract work.

Another attendee brought up the problem of trying to search for a US senator name in all podcasts. Sounded like he needed a news clipping service that catered to indexing podcasts.
Advertising metric for measuring the audience of podcasts was brought up by numerous times. A clear solution like CPM didn't appear. Most of the panelists pushed Branding.
