SXSW '09 Wrapup: A Whole Lot of Twitter Going On
Our managing editor Rebecca Fox has concluded her time at SXSW and made it back to the happy shores of Manhattan with this wrap-up, which she has posted over at WebNewser. Did SXSWi manage to out-Twitter Twitter? Says Rebecca:
With Twitter’s ubiquity across the 10,000+ attendee conference, we found the spontaneous creation of session-, speech- and shindig-specific hashtags to be among SXSWi 09’s greatest takeaways. The sheer volume of Tweets coming out of the festival rendered the dedicated #SXSW tag all but useless, so attendees and panelists quickly created the DIY hack of hatching hashtags specific to individual talks at the start of many sessions.
