The life of an internet ninja (internenja?) isn’t easy. Just as soon as we announced favitt’s soft launch, we headed to Austin for the annual SXSW conference to hit the streets and get buzz going on favitt.com. With SXSW Interactive outselling Music for the first time since it was added to the festival’s line-up in 1994, our focus on establishing a presence during SXSWi was timely.

During SXSW Film & Interactive, the weather was gorgeous and thousands of feet hit the pavement around the Austin Convention Center…making sure thousands of eyeballs noticed our bright pink sidewalk chalk tags. Despite one night of drizzle, the favitt tags even made it through the week all the way to the start of Music showcases:

With all the great press on favitt (including coverage by the Houston Chronicle and Dwight Silverman’s TechBlog write-up), what’s next on the favitt calendar? Comicpalooza this March 26-28!
