The SXTXSTATE.com site is hosted by graduate students in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Texas State University in San Marcos.

We will showcase activities at the 2009 South By Southwest Interactive Conference in Austin, TX.

This year’s conference is shaping up with another amazing lineup including keynotes by Chris Anderson of Wired, Tony Hseih of Zappos.com, Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight.com and James Powderly of Graffiti Research Lab.

Four days of panels and activities are scheduled for what promises to be a fun and interesting time!

The students who are blogging this event are members of the Advanced Online Media grad course taught by Cindy Royal, and many are part of the New Media concentration at Texas State.

During the next few weeks, we ‘ll be blogging about our plans for the event. On March 14, we go live at the Convention Center in Austin, so be sure to check in frequently.
