If you can’t join them, just tweet
11th March 2008 by Graham -
Over the last week I’ve been immersing myself in Twitter. It can become addictive but for all the right reasons: there is a lot of valuable information and insight to be had. One of the guys I follow - Igor Poltavskiy (known to his Twitter friends as Scabr) - just tweeted a link to this BBC article from Bill Thompson, which makes some great points about Twitter. At the same time, Bill shares my own disappointment about missing SXSW - next year, definitely! - but points out how following the tweets on Twitter were a fairly good second best.
Last year I waited for people to blog about SXSW: this year I was following them ‘in action’.
