I got into Austin yesterday, and there hasn't been much going on yet, it's an uneasy calm before the storm. I'm sitting in a SXSW Interactive panel right now about gamer-generated wikis. Pretty interesting, not amazing. I just learned that WoWWiki, a wiki about World of WarCraft, is the second largest wiki behind Wikipedia! They get 3 million users a month, half of all WoW players.
One of the panelists just said that 5 core editors is the tipping point for a wiki to take off. How many core people are building Viget? I'm sure the Civic Studio class is helping...
Anyway, I'm just here to kill time before the movies start tonight. First up, Super High Me, comedian Doug Benson smokes pot everyday for 30 days, then quits it cold turkey for 30 days, all the while monitoring the health effects. Should be interesting.
After that, a movie that I'm VERY excited about, Second Skin, a documentary about massively multiplayer online games, and the people who are hopelessly addicted to them. See trailer below:
