He points out a lot of what we are noticing this year, mostly from the Twitter stream

1. The twittering from SXSW panels can be maddening
2. Sponsors are everywhere
3. And there are stil tons of good shows here, notatsxsw.

And #8 on his list? Too busy attending notatsxsw.

Awesome.

Here’s the excerpt from the SXSW page for the 2009 festival:

….Also new was the founding of an international netroots organization for those not attending, dubbed NotAtSXSW. Coordinating though Twitter and other online tools, notatsxsw events were held in London, New York, Wisconsin, Portland, Oregon and Miami.[12] According to the Los Angeles Times, some Twitter users are only pretending to be at the 2009 festival.[13]

Thanks to Steve Wailing, who added notatsxsw last night. Steve is an editor at AboutUs, a wiki guide for companies, organizations, blogs and really just about ant web presence out there.

We’re in gratitude to the AboutUs folks.  Steve  also created a notatsxw page on AboutUs. We’re sure glad Steve is notatsxsw.
