By far one of the most popular panels at SXSW Interactive 2008 was “Worst Website Ever: That’s So Crazy, It Just Might Work” organized by Andy Baio. And of course one of the best presentations on the panel was by Merlin Mann on “FlockdUp”, a startup providing Maverick Networking for Thought Leaders. Roo Reynolds shot video of Merlin’s talk and Merlin posted the slides from his talk to SlideShare.
