Live from Austin: Social Media Clubhouse during SxSW Interactive

Bottom Line Law Group is proud to sponsor the Social Media Clubhouse in Austin, Texas during SxSW. The Social Media Club and its founders, Chris Heuer and Kristie Wells, have put a tremendous amount of effort into organizing this event. Following up on the Social Media Week events of last month in San Francisco and around the world, the Clubhouse will host some of the most stimulating discussions during SxSW Interactive.

Crowdsourced Auto Design: Local Motors Audaciously Challenges the Status Quo

As part of Social Media Week, I visited the Autodesk Gallery for a panel discussion entitled “The Next Challenge For The Crowd: Quickly Build Real, Hard, Complex Shit That Matters (Like Cars).” With a title like that, I was not about to miss it. The Rally Fighter parked out front (around the corner from a Tesla roadster, natch) foreshadowed the fascinating discussion inside. Many of the ideas which had been swirling around in my head for the past week coalesced in this 90-minute conversation with Jay Rogers, CEO and co-founder of Local Motors; Marten Mickos, former CEO of MySQL; and Chris Anderson, Editor-in-Chief of Wired, moderated by Matt Johnston.
