And now for something even more awesome (and probably never been done before): Flex Mathews and Kosha Dillz freestyle… for Answers.com.
These two rocked the house during the Q&A at the end of the Gary Vaynerchuk (@garyvee) presentation at SXSW. No end to the verbal creativity here, people. Or should I say… peeps.
That’s right. Answers.com not only prevents forest fires (or something) but we saved blogger/writer/idea machine Scott Stead’s life with our information on breathing fire and building flamethrowers (that’s right). Scott was going to attempt the feats and decided his ’sticky bits’ weren’t worth torching after reading up on the art on Answers.com.
Here he tells his not-so-fiery tale to Shaya at SXSW:
Can I get a “Helloooo Austin, Texas!”
Our very own Shaya (@pickleshy) is running around SXSW Interactive with tons of Answers.com gear to giveaway. If you’ve been answering @Answersdotcom’s tweets and getting prizes for it, you know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t been - well, only 2.5 days left!
Shaya reported a bit on what she’s seeing and hearing at SXSW and here are a few snapshots to piece together… Oh, and the following statement that Shaya will have to explain at some point:
“Crowdsurfing sheep, flame-throwing buses, robots that play music, random random random (and ppl who call it stochasticity). Nearly saw a terrible rehashing of the super bowl Janet Jackson event during a slightly slutty soul sistas karaoke performance.”

Stay tuned for more tales from Texas later this week…
Last week Answers.com sponsored VatorSplash, an event showcasing emerging technology, organized by Bambi Francisco at Vator TV.
Robert Scoble hosted the event, where start ups demoed and Mark Pincus of Zynga gave a talk.
SarahI, or Sarah, a fabulous WikiAnswers QA Engineer and our resident photographer, traveled all the way to Thailand and all she gave away was an Answers.com t-shirt… or several!
While exploring Ko Phi Phi Island, Sarah met a couple of junior smarties who became fast Answers.com fans; seems they all share a taste in fashion (and cuteness!).
One boy she met needed a little cheering up while his dad worked on a boat nearby. Hopefully his new t-shirt helped:
Another boy was happy to make friends with Sarah while his mom snapped a photo of them:
Turns out he is also a local celebrity who performs in a kids’ show at a boxing stadium:
Robin Wauters, a writer for TechCrunch, also known as a member of the Traveling Geeks, had this to say on his Twitter account at LeWeb:
