The Week in Links (Say Cheese!)
“Cheese, glorious, cheese…” I got a copy of The Cheese Chronicles, a new book about cheese by Liz Thorpe from Murray’s Cheese Shop.

Blacks in Tech Meetup at SXSWi
Live from the blacks in tech meetup. Stage view, originally uploaded by baratunde.
After a long day of traveling, I made it to Austin just in time to be a panelist on the Blacks in Tech Meetup. The cab driver didn’t know how to get to the Carver Museum nor did he know where 1165 Angelina Street was. I don’t have an iPhone, but a fairly good memory so I remembered looking on the Google Map so I told him it was near 11th Street, so after slowly driving around the east part of town, we made it.
When I got inside, I first saw EJ Flavors and my SXSW roomie Twanna (Funky Brown Chick). After saying hello to a few people including “Papa Bear” George Kelly, the panel commenced.
Jeffery Bowman from Ogilvy moderated the panel which included Baratunde, Lynne D. Johnson, Denise Jacobs and me.
We talked about three main topics: brand, community and social networking tools.
It was a lively and informative discussion. I also met Corvida, Wayne Sutton and a few others who I will start following on Twitter.
If you are at “South By” check out Denise Jacob’s panel on Monday, “Can the Afrosphere Survive the Age of Obama?” Also, Latoya Peterson from Racialicious is having a panel, “Can Social Media End Racism?”
