Live from Austin!

South by Southwest (SXSW) is a gargantuan film, music, and interactive festival that takes place every Spring in Austin Texas. As you might expect, Tumblr is full of awesome blogs from the amazing filmmakers, internet enthusiasts, musicians, and music fans who are down in Austin for the festival.

Keep track of all the action from your Tumblr Dashboard by tracking #SXSW!

The SXSW Tumblr Tracker
The Guardian sent roving reporters to SXSW armed only with some mobile devices and some Tumblr blogs, and their custom-built tracker pulls all their coverage together.

One more thing…
Our Texas-Sized Tumblr Meetup is tomorrow from 1:00-6:00pm. If you’re in Austin, drop by to say hi, make some new friends, and get some awesome free stuff!
