It’s SxSW weekend, which means the entire social media world is in Austin to learn, drink, party, and drink some more.

I’m kind of glad I broke my foot and can’t go. If I were in Austin, I’d want to be riding my bike so I’d be skipping great sessions and then would have wasted my money in buying a ticket.

But for those of you there, have a great time and bring the rest of us back some cool new things to learn more about.

For the rest of us, it’s supposed to be unseasonably warm throughout the country, which means everyone’s snow will melt and shorts and flip flops will once again reign supreme.

Before you head outdoors, spend 10 minutes watching the great videos of the week in Gin and Topics.

Special thanks this week to Mattie Dietrich, Rebecca Todd, Jason Konopinski, and Karl Rectanus. (more…)
