Here are podcasts from a few sessions I really enjoyed at South by Southwest Interactive 2008.
1. LOLWUT? Why Do I Keep Coming Back to This Website?
Eric Nakagawa and Ben Huh (donning a cheezburger hat) discuss LOLcats a.k.a I Can Has Cheezburger. Nakagawa covers the site's origin and rabid fan base, and Huh covers the metrics (over 1.5 million page views a day!), user behavior and best practices. You had to be there to get the full effect, but Rocketboom's funny video recap captures some of the flavor.
2. The Art of Speed: Conversations with Monster Makers
Tips on staffing, product launches, scalability and more from entrepreneurs who achieved quick success. Moderated by Tim Ferriss (The 4-Hour Workweek), and featuring Mike Cassidy (successful startup CEO and co-founder), Evan Williams (Twitter/Obvious), and Cali Lewis (GeekBriefTV).
3. The popular Frank Warren PostSecret Keynote (video and liveblog link).
This session had nothing to do with technology and EVERYTHING to do with human connection. There wasn't a dry eye in the house.
