Blogged Blog

Ken and I just came back from Austin after spending 3 days at the SXSW conference. It was our first time and we both learned a lot and met some really cool people from the blogosphere. Here are some key learnings I’ll take with me next time I go to SXSW:

1. Do not wear uncomfortable shoes (especially heels) because there was a lot of walking and standing in line involved. I’m serious, you need to wait in line to get into every party at SXSW
2. Check twitter frequently to learn where all the cool people and great parties are
3. Don’t be shy, just walk up and talk to anyone, you’re bound to learn something new

Keeping #3 in mind and with a “little” encouragement from my partner, I went up to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and introduced myself. I told him we recently launched our site and our plan to release our Facebook app. He was very friendly and wished me luck with Blogged.

We also got some very valuable feedback from bloggers on how to make Blogged even better as a blog discovery tool for users. We’ll be working on those improvements and features on our roadmap for the next few weeks. Stay tuned for more.
