Online Generosity

So Thursday's getting closer and it's starting to hit me. I'm going to SXSW Interactive. Before leaving, I wanted to give a HUGE thanks to my company sponsors:
Clix Marketing - expertly creates and manages pay-per-click campaigns on services like Google AdWords, Yahoo! Search Marketing, Microsoft AdCenter and others

Think Polygon - a smart group of designers, technologists, strategists, and social media evangelists. Think Polygon's experience and expertise help businesses build their brands, connect with their customers, and communicate using the most effective social media, web, or print channels

Think Polygon's site will launch on Friday 3/13 and I'll post the link on that day

Hudson Valley Tours - the premier tour company of the Lower Hudson Valley. Whether in the tri-state area on a visit, or in need of a quick little getaway from your New York City abode, Hudson Valley Tours will provide you with a fun-filled day to experience some of the place and faces that make the Hudson Valley one of the most memorable places around

National Society of Collegiate Scholars - NSCS is the largest honor society recognizing the academic success of first and second year college students in the United States. NSCS members are ambitious, resourceful and community focused

Microsoft Live Search - Microsoft Live Search delivers results with a simple, unique design and advanced tools for helping people quickly find, view, organize and preview search results

Without these company sponsors, I would have had to tweet and email about this attempt for a lot longer than five days.

Now these companies were all large contributors, but I also want to say thanks to all the individual sponsors that happened via TipJoy. It's been an amazing experience to see how the online community supports those who are interested, ambitious and broke.

Thanks everyone!
