FVB > Sched.org: Order from Chaos at SXSW…

Congrats to local AJAX cage-fighters Taylor McKnight and Chirag Mehta — for mashing together the hot site of SXSW 2008: Sched.org. Last year’s SXSW love child was Twitter, this year was Sched….

I would call that “fuschia” before I called it “pink”.

Films is more “pink”… though I’d go with “mauve”.

Hehehe, just messin’ with ya, Erick.

@Mike – I got to give sched.org a beta as a long time user of Chime.tv the award winning mashup Chirag and Taylor built. I told them they have a great tool and I would love to see a my.sched.org that works with my events. There are a few event tools that exist but this is easy, clean and social. Nice.

Talked to Taylor today and they are adding a “now” feature that I suggested. As in, what is happening right now.

These guys are pretty remarkable.

Cheers,
Randy

i liked the fact that you can see where your friends are going just by adding their names to the URL

two people in the blogger room were saying that Friday’s schedule on sched was wrong – off by 1 hour – how do they keep it current?

while i can’t load up wired (freakin ^)(#^*()# wifi), my guess is that twitter is for “where im going” and sched is for “whats available” ?

Burning Man sure as hell could use this.

Are they going to release this code as open source, or start a site outside of SXSW? This could be really useful for me.

my favorite stuff is hacked together in two or three person caffeine-fueled coding fests. Kudos to these guys!
