What could be more exciting than getting saddled up for SxSW’s Interactive portion of the two week conference dedicated to music, film and software? The answer - sharing ShareThis’ first year at the conference! As a Texas native any excuse to get back to my ropin’ and ridin’ roots is a good one, but SxSW is one that I look forward to the most.

This year’s SxSW will promise the same great discussions, trendy tech, newcomers and hijinx as past years, but this time I am heading to Austin with Tim Schigel, ShareThis CEO, to check out the venue from a new point of view. This year is my first visit to the conference solely as an attendee and I’m excited to experience the event from the other side of an exhibition booth. I’ll be there from Thursday evening through Monday so look me up via my  Twitter handle @texasgirlerin or talk to Tim @schigel.
