A Web 2.0 Tour of Austin
Recently we stumbled across several decent sites in the much-heralded Web 2.0 vein that are useful.
Podbop is cool for listening to free MP3s of bands like Franz Ferdinand that tour through Austin. Except that Franz Ferdinand is really going to Grand Prairie, which is 200 miles away. Podbop had fixed this anamoly by the second visit, though. The cities listed are also pretty limited. If you're looking for info on Round Rock, you're out of luck.
Consumating - Tag based dating. For geeks. For geeks in Austin. Created by former Austnite, Ben Brown, who we interviewed back in Episode 11. Again, if you're in Round Rock, this site won't be of much use. Unless you like Dell geeks.
Standpoint is a good place to share and evangelize convictions. For example, if you want let the world know that Austin is the coolest place on earth, a place worth stowing away on a plane for, you could start with this site. Now this site will be useful for people in Round Rock.
The cool thing about Podbop is if there aren't any events in your town, you can add them. I'm sure the people of Round Rock would appreciate it :)

Thanks! I didn't know that. Round Rock will actually have to have something happen first!
