1. SXSW was a rip roaring good time.  Some of the highlights of my SXSW experiece was meeting and talk to Chris Brogan, CC Champman, Peter Shankman, Jonathan Fields, and Gary Vaynerchuk. I got to see Ondi Timoner talk about her new documentary We Live in Public about the social experience of internet pioneer Josh Turner.  
2. The hottest, new game that was the talk of SXSW was Foursquare.
3. Props goes to Chris Hutchins, the founder of LaidOff Camp.  
4. Tara Hunt (@missrogue) presentation on Whuffie was a treat.
5. The AdvisorBlogger was the Guest of the Day...and it was my birthday! Thanks to La Quinta Inn in downtown Austin, TX.  It was a simple, nice gesture that I will not forget.

11. Tough Times.
12. Is Facebook worried about Twitter?
13. FotoFlexer is a FREE photo editor that is easy to use and here is the kicker...the app runs in your browser--no software to download. 
14. If you are looking for a easy way to share files with a partner, co-worker or friends, you have got to try Drop.IO.  I love this site because of the ease of upload and ability to share files without having to email.

1. Unbelievable, incredible, yummy Velvet Red Cake. I promise, if you were with me, I would share. You should see this Red Cake. Incredible.
2. USA Today Articles on the market last week.  It was a very difficult week for many investors and advisors.  Many investors are fleeing equities and seeking haven in cash.
3. ICI is mentioned in many newspaper articles regarding mutal fund outflows and inflows.  The ICI website is worth a peak.  While you are at, take a look at TrimTabs as well.
