Follow that bird! SXSW on Twitter…
As the rest of the world did (it seems), the folks at SXSW signed up for Twitter back in 2007, when the micro-blogging/messaging service had its unofficial coming-out party and first real stress test at the Interactive conference. But for a long while, the SXSW account had but one brief, lonely tweet.
Over the past few weeks, though, SXSW has been answering Twitter’s “What are you doing?” query fairly frequently, with updates on discount registration, panels and keynotes and more. They seem to be listening to their “followers” too, and using Twitter to provide quick answers and feedback. If you’re planning to attend SXSW and you use Twitter (c’mon, who doesn’t?!), you might want to follow “SXSW”.
And while we’re on the subject, you do follow the Baby, right? In addition to notes whenever we add a significant post to the blog, we tweet other insider tips and info from time to time too.
