twitter has changed the conference experience
At most of the panels at SXSW, the presenters have created hashtags for people to use with Twitter. This produces a back-channel to the presentation:
+ The audience can share and re-tweet important and relevant quotes
+ The presenters get an immediate sense of what the audience is responding to
+ The audience can tweet questions - without having to walk to the center of the room, and use a microphone (something that I know, I always shy away from.)
+ Everyone can share the tweet stream with their friends, back at home
+ People can continue the discussion long after the panel ended
Here's an example of a stream from one of the panels that I attended: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=whuffie
Awesome!
