SXSW: Bloggerati swarm the Yahoo sellout party
On Sunday, Yahoo's "got bought and loving it" group — Upcoming, del.icio.us, and Flickr — threw the most star-studded SXSW party after the official Interactive Finishing bash. Among the sparkling attendees: Craig Newmark, the San Fran developer crowd, and a gaggle of Internet-famous folks. Beer, margaritas, and t-shirts flowed freely. Here are the people worth jokin' about, with photos from Scott Beale's SXSW gallery.
Flickr community wrangler Heather Champ. So cool, even her margarita is too hot to hold.
CSS Zen Garden tender Dave Shea: "My preferred Flickr tag, of course."
After the jump, Dooce flips a double-bird.
Rubyred Labs UE guy Thor Muller isn't sure what he's eating, but that shirt will hide any spills.
A rare and mysterious photo of Valleywag's outsourced photographer: The ruling tentacle of Laughing Squid, Scott Beale.
Heather Champ (another meme photographer), Heather Armstrong (Dooce to you), and Mighty Girl Maggie Mason do a stunning, if seated, Charlie's Angels Blogger Edition.
Jimmy Wales and Craig Newmark: Mr. Wikipedia and Mr. Craigslist show off matching facial hair and balding patterns.
"Just some last-minute changes...like adding that guy to the acknowledgements. That should earn me another free beer, right?"
Bryght's Kris Krug: "Get Hammer on the phone! Yeah, it's an Interactive party, but I'm dressed like a SXSW Music attendee!"
New York superblogger Jason Kottke likes being out with people. He really likes it. PLEASE DON'T MAKE HIM GO BACK TO THE BAD BLOGGING PLACE.
The Rocketboom team: OMG Amanda Congdon! (Oh, hi Andy.) (No, seriously, Andrew Baron also rocks.) (Bonus story: Amanda wasn't sure she could wear the GETV "I was Internet famous once" shirt. Amanda, you will ALWAYS be Internet famous — wear that shirt with proud irony.)
