Good point, Andyed. With any luck, maybe they’ll take that to heart when they go about making any revisions for next year’s version.

Feedback on sched.org among my crew was pretty mixed.

My only major beef was a lack of “graceful degradation” — on the iphone, the hyperlink should have degraded to the permalink instead of the popup. Silly mistake, as it’s so trivial to provide a natural hyperlink and override it with an onclick handler.

I know you are so excited about SXSW! :) It looks *so* fun, especially the music conference (but that’s just me). At my conference I usually go to part of one session, get the handouts, and then go to part of the other. Good luck choosing, they all look fascinating! :)

Yeah, I know what you mean about the hover behavior (though it didn’t bother me that much in the end). The one thing I might change would be to have a more full-featured account setup — that way, if I forgot my password or something, they’d have an e-mail address to which they could e-mail it to me.

Sched.org is definitely leaps and bounds above the sxsw.org calendar. My only grip is that the hover behavior is a little manic. I seem to trigger it while casually mousing around. Also, when you click and add something, that hover popup fires anyway.

I wish they had a iphone mobile version!.
