Yahoo’s Ian Kennedy Keeps His Eye on the Surprise

Ian Kennedy, one of our resident eggheads and a senior project manager here at Yahoo! Publisher Network, cast his roving eye on the South by South West confab this week and lived to blog about it. Highlights from his stream-of-consciousness postings include:

• The future of online magazines (interesting lessons for the publisher here)
• Topix’s talk about moderating online communities
• A case study on Lonelygirl15 (the Milli Vanilli-esque faux reality show that debuted on YouTube)
• The panel featuring our own Cody Simms on online publishing and ad networks
• Bridging the online culture gap

Plus lots more detail you’re not likely to find anywhere else. View Ian’s SXSW report: Day One, Day Two, Day Three, Day Four.
