Singaporeans featured at SXSW!

ByVanessa Tan

SXSW Music – Our top Singapore band, Electrico, will be playing at SXSW in Austin, Texas on 14 March! Another band, The Great Spy Experiment on 15 March. Thanks to Kristen for the heads up. Alas I will be leaving Austin on the morning of 14 March, so will not be able to support either band. View the full list of bands here.
Weblog Awards – Two Singapore blogs have been nominated for the 2007 Bloggies: Popagandhi and It’s Raining Noodles (which won last year). Please let me know if I left out any other Singaporean blogs.
SXSW Web Awards – Jonathan Yuen has been nominated for best portfolio.
All the best to our SXSW “Team Singapore”!

I should be terribly excited about it, I suppose. I’ve been doing some research despite being a bit blase about the whole…

    Official SXSW writeup for Under 18: Blogs, Wikis and Online Social Networks for Youth Each panelist gave a longish introduction on themselves and I wondered when they’d actually start talking about the topic itself.

Had supper at D’s home, chose some slideshow photos with her and learnt…
