Google's latest attempt to compete with Facebook is its new social network called Google Plus. The launch party was by invitation-only but some how Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg got in.

Now more than 40,000 follow Zuckerberg, making him the most-followed person on Google Plus.

Austin's currently got an embarrassment of riches in the beer department, and while we're not complaining, we are having a little trouble keeping track.

Luckily the bloggers at Craft Austin and BeerTownAustin have decided to join the 15th century with a novel idea -- a printed guide to Austin's beer scene.

The second in a series, the Austin Beer Guide Summer Issue is now in brew pubs, shops, restaurants, and bars around town.

We all know that Red Bull is renowned for their energy drinks (both with sugar and sugar-free) and you will be seeing a lot of it in the coming week at SXSW.

But did you know that they are hooking up with the iPad, iPhone, and the iPod Touch with a BA app that will allow anyone to DJ!

Weird right? I know, but trust me it’s awesome; as will be told later.

If you’re reading this you’re likely an Austin Music Person.   Make it official by attending the AMP Launch Party at the new ACL Live on March 31.

One ludicrous rumor that was evidently tossed around at last night's Texas Tribune launch party claimed that Kayne West had up and bought the entire top floor of the Austonian.

Sounds unlikely.
