Social media platform SXSWerds.com launched for South by Southwest 2009

BlogWerds Media is proud to announce the launch of SXSWerds.com (http://sxswerds.com), a content aggregation and social media platform dedicated to the wild explosion of news, blog, and social media chatter pointed at the main event: South by Southwest 2009!

So what does that mean?

With attention intensifying for SXSW 2009, if you want to find out what news is popping, what blogs are blogging, and where social media chatter is headed, there's no central platform to see all of that activity - and interact with it in real time - with relation to one of the biggest industry events of the year... until now.

SXSWerds.com delivers a dedicated stream of news, blog, and social media activity, and empowers its community of tech and web enthusiasts with a social media layer to vote on stories and posts, comment, and make their own opinions heard. Further, the SXSWerds.com featured story provides a human editorial layer to mix, culminating in a targeted content aggregation and social media platform that is both unique and indicative of where social media as a whole is headed.

The launch of SXSWerds.com coincides with the debut of two other new BlogWerds Media properties: AmericanIdolWerds.com and SurvivorWerds.com, providing an oasis of news, blog, and social media goodness for two of America's favorite obsessive television shows!

The BlogWerds Media network is now six web properties strong, and growing bigger and badder all the time!

ABOUT BLOGWERDS MEDIA

While the term "web 2.0" is defined in many different ways, most would agree that the web 2.0 era is over. So what comes next?

Targeted content verticals matched with social media tools that provide compelling added value.

BlogWerds Media believes that the evolution of social media means getting focused on valuable yet underserved content niches. While a select few blogs and news memes get repetitive attention from "all things to all people" content aggregators and social news sites, the vast majority of news stories and social media participation simply gets lost in the ether.

BlogWerds Media is a new kind of social media company, on the bleeding edge in this new, brave "post-web 2.0 era."

BlogWerds Media provides targeted content aggregation and social media tools for what's coming next.

The growing BlogWerds Media network currently includes:
* BlogWerds.com - Company blog aggregator + social media
* NewsWerds.com - Online newspaper blog aggregator + social media
* ObamaWerds.com - Barack Obama news, blogs, and social media buzz
* SXSWerds.com - South by Southwest news, blogs, and social media buzz
* AmericanIdolWerds.com - American Idol news, blogs, and social media buzz
* SurvivorWerds.com - Survivor news, blogs, and social media buzz
