It’s that time of year again when all the geeks in the web tech community converge upon Austin Texas and form insanely long lines for blocks to get into Facebook, Mashable, Digg and Foursquare parties to get free tshirts, tech gear and free drinkage and hopefully get to meet “internet stars”…  Something like that.

I got over that year one – but SXSW Interactive is a great time, good to hang out with all those you talk to online from around the world and build better relationships, meet other entrepreneurs and gather insight on their positives and failures in the startup world and more.

Austin itself is a really cool town, great downtown area and awesome music scene.  The conference is beyond huge and offers a lot of information packed into a week.

So with that I’ll link you to my SXSW schedule if you’d like to see the panels I’m hitting or you can track me down via the normal methods: twitter, foursquare, gowalla & brightkite.

Cheers

I don’t post as often as I want/need/should and I blame that on working too much, but not on my own stuff unfortunately. Until tonight… Enter my idea for FAILreport.com:

What is it?

It’s where all your “fail” shouts and aggravations entered on Twitter are pulled into one spot and displayed for everybody to laugh at. It’s powered by Tweetscan, PHP and the awesome MagpieRSS aggregator.
EDIT:  As of early May 2008 I’ve updated the site to use Summize.com for search as it proved better and far more reliable.

Appreciation and help

I’ve got to send props out to Brent Spore (@iboughtamac on twitter) for taking my quick idea and comments and busting out a sweet design in under an hour allowing me to code the whole thing and launch in under three. Original ideas came from TwitterTale and Brent’s original Drnkn site.

Also shout-out to Beau (@beauhlf on twitter) for helping tweak my PHP code.

In closing…

I’d appreciate it if you go check it out at FAILreport.com and let me know what you think. Also add me on Twitter if you haven’t already: @chuckreynolds. Thanks and see you soon with some more fun projects. ;)
