I certainly enjoyed my trip to Austen’s South By Southwest Interactive festival where thousands of social media and Web 2.0 enthusiasts gathered for five days to share ideas and information. Oh and have fun. And, we mere mortals get to brush shoulders with some of the industry’s biggest names.

Last week my firm launched a tech start up at the DEMO conference in Palm Springs, California. Our client was the only British company participating this time and the overall number of star-ups was half what it had been in previous years.
