The Brag Basket is our tradition of sharing. The basket is always free and open all weekend, this one October 7-9, 2011.
Even though I call this the Brag Basket, it’s not really about bragging. It’s about sharing.

What can you do in the Brag Basket?
- introduce yourself
- share some great news from this week
- congratulate a friend
- laugh about something wonderful that you tried that failed
- applaud for each other
Don’t hold back because of that word, “brag.” When you hold back, you hide your good news and accomplishments that might inspire others.
Speak up and add yourself or another deserving soul in the comments. We all cheer, and everyone feels great. It lets you meet each other a bit. Reading each others’ stories brings us a bit closer to being a community.
How does it work? You write a comment on this post, email me, or catch me on any social network and share your thought.
This is not an ad. (I delete the ads.) It’s a conversation with friends. So jump in. And remember to cheer for each other.

Becky,
I hope to see you next year at SXSW already bought my conference pass. On the other side I have to say that I had an awesome week I was able to talk to my ex-colleagues in the Security field on how they need to update policies and procedures to align better with Social Media Platforms.
The highlight was when I got upgrade to a Presidential Suite of the Caribe Hilton and I guess It was the perfect place for me to prepare for my session.
I hope you are having an awesome week.
Raul, congratulations! I’m sure you gave lots of security people new things to think about. I probably won’t be at SXSW this year, as I have a paying speaking job on the same dates. But I’m sure we’ll find a chance to meet one of these days!
