Along with 34 other innovative UK companies, we’re chuffed to have been selected as part of the UK Digital Mission to the SXSWi Conference in Austin, Texas in March. The glorious Mike Butcher, who helped judge the companies said at Techcrunch, the Digital Mission is “a kind of trade mission, but with more sex appeal” to SXSWi, “now a byword for emerging media.”
Chinwag are organising the Digital Mission for UK Trade & Investment, and the judges were: Mike Butcher, Techcrunch UK Editor; Herb Kim, Codeworks CEO; and Sarbjit Bakhshi, Head of Information & Technology Group, UKTI.

There’s also a competition there called The SXSW Accelerator which allows ‘bleeding-edge companies to present their latest products and services to industry experts, early-adopters, bloggers, mainstream media reporters, and leaders of the venture capital community”. Heck, we might have a go at that. After all, SXSW was where Twitter really tipped over into the mainstream.
