SXSW Goes Green, Adopts All Digital Swag Bags
This year at SXSW, there will no longer be swag bags. There will be no more lugging around and guarding a heavy cache of physical media, magazines, and key chains, among other things. This year, the swag bag will be completely digital. There will be an online portal where SXSW registrants can claim their digital media. Rather than handing you this bundle of love all at once, SXSW will be slowly distribute it leading up to the event.
"Finally, after 24 years of swag complaints, technology provides the magic of convenience and finally caught up with SXSW, leaving swag curmudgeons like me wondering what the heck to bitch about in 2011," writes Corey Denis.

It must hit considering most swag would of been self-funded included the bags themselves?

The worst bankrupt in the world is the man who has lost enthusiasm. Let him lose everything but enthusiasm and he will come through again to success.
In a sense, investors have been lulled into something of a false sense of security, because so much of the support has been highly complex – and thus hard to understand.
