SXSW 2009 Wrapup

Welp, my third SXSW has come and gone and each year the days fly by. They say that if time moves fast you are having a good time. And a good time I had. The interactive festival did seem more subdued than previous years. As in years past, the best part was meeting CN readers and making new contacts. Nearly every conversation I participated in was intelligent and I’ve learned a lot from the overall festival. I can’t speak to the party scene as I didn’t hit many of them. I handed out hundreds of CN stickers!

I was asked by a reporter if there was a breakout product or service this year and my answer was no. I also think Twitter was quieter this year than previous years. And thats a good thing.
