If you have no idea what SXSW is, then keep reading:
There’s no doubt South by Southwest is a major event: SXSW is the highest revenue-producing special event for the Austin economy, with an estimated economic impact of at least $110 million in 2008. With more than 1,400 performers playing in more than 80 venues around Austin over four days, SXSW Music is really why people come here. But over the years, SXSW Film has become one of the world’s premiere film festivals while SXSW Interactive has attracted a strong following among web creators and entrepreneurs. SXSW Interactive’s focus on emerging technology has earned the festival a reputation as a breeding ground for new ideas and creative technologies. Twitter launched at SXSW Interactive in 2007.
Project Kindle’s Dance Marathon at UCLA
We’re helping out our friends at Project Kindle today by producing the live webcast of their Dance Marathon at UCLA. Dance Marathon at UCLA 2010 is the 9th annual event of its kind at the UCLA campus. Seeking to educate, fundraise, and spread awareness about the global pediatric AIDS pandemic, Dance Marathon unites over 3,000 students every year in Ackerman Grand Ballroom to literally take a stand against pediatric AIDS. More information on the event can be found here. Watch the stream, chat it up & say hello. We’ll literally be here all night (did we mention it’s a 26-hour dance marathon?). This year, they raised $407,223.73!
Stats update (posted at 1:00 PM PT on 2/14/10): The stream was shared 70 times on Facebook and 47 times on Twitter. The average audience was 65 viewers and peaked at 180+ viewers on 2/14 at 1:00 PM PT. The stream averaged about 90,000+ total viewer minutes).
Welcome to Skip1.org
Radar’s creative team designed and produced the website for Skip1.org, a new non-profit organization that taps into the world’s wealth to help bring food & water to children in need. The new site has several key components such as a revolving billboard, user-generated accounts, a store, aggregated content from Twitter and a Skip1 leaderboard so people can see who’s skipping and why. Visit the site, skip something and let us know what you think. The website is live but won’t “officially” launch until September 1st, 2009.
EnviroSolve Has Radar On Their Mine
The EnviroSolve Corporation has tapped Radar to produce a 30-minute safety training video for the former Anaconda Copper Mine site in Yerington, Nevada which is going through a multi-million dollar cleanup. The Yerington Site has more potential pitfalls than Raiders of the Lost Ark so it’s critical that all visitors to the mine go through some training before spending any amount of time on the site. The 30-minute training video will be available on the Radar website upon its completion in May. For more information on the site cleanup, click here.
Interthinx Launches “Fraud Bytes” Newscast
