Hi! *waves* If I wear out the exclamation point key on my keyboard, it’s because I’m only one short day away from blasting off to Austin, TX for SXSWi. I’ve created a frame for you to use on your avatar to indicate you’re at SXSW. It’s like a license plate frame, only cool. And for geeks. Then your friends can follow (or avoid) your tweets while you’re there. I’m posting a transparent png for you to make your own. Please pass it along!
* By popular demand, the “not at SXSW” frame. Black with a home icon, for your viewing pleasure.

As a first-timer myself, I’ve been combing the internet for tools to help me manage the info overload. I’m starting with these few. Please add your favorites in the comments and I’ll repost with updates.

I’d love to meet you all. If you need to find me there, I’ll be the one jumping up and down from sheer joy and excitement. I’m on twitter as @skinny.

I’m on board! Adding it to mine now. Thanks!
Going or not, don’t miss links people tweet. I created an RSS feed from Twitter. Attempts to filter Retweets to help keep noise down.

Thanks for doing this. We used this but changed the border because the blue clashed with our logo. http://twitter.com/surveygizmo/
Shameless plug: check out the panel rating/scheduling tool we built for SXSW at http://rate.sxsw.com – works great on the iPhone
