Merlin’s Panel at SxSW: “Worst. Website. Ever.”
If, by any chance, you’re one of the folks attending South by Southwest Interactive in the next few days, I hope you’ll consider stopping by Worst Website Ever on Saturday at 5 CST in Room 9. WWE is my pal Andy Baio’s panel opportunity slap fight in which one and only one terrible idea for the world’s most execrable web startup will emerge from the Thunderdome.
Although, for reasons I’m sure you’ll understand, I cannot reveal the details of my paradigm-shifting pitch, rest assured that it is I who will be walking home with a pocket full of fat Sand Hill money for the awesomest and most ill-advised idea for a company that you’ve ever heard. That’s right, Einstein, I’ll be the one laughing all the way to the Wells Fargo ATM on Menlo Ave. Suckers.
update 2008-03-17: Roo Revnolds was kind enough to post this video of the carnage:
