So, not sure how many of you tracked the Zuckerberg keynote last week at SXSW, but while I was there in Austin, an odd thing happened.
It seemed to me to be the first time I saw Twitter used in a way that had a negative impact. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but the anger of the crowd at Zuckerberg's keynote interview seemed to be fueled further by the fact people were venting in Twitter at the same time. In this instance, Twitter seemed to be like pouring gasoline on a fire, making the reaction to a poor interview far worse than it was in reality. (IMHO of course.) Further, I have to say... the whole use of Twitter and mobile devices at the conference really depressed me. It seemed like every ten seconds no matter who you were with, they all kept looking down at their iPhones and basically taking themselves out of whatever was going on. I know I'm becoming a Luddite and all, but honestly... put down the damn iPhone, Blackberry or whatever it is you use already! It's really becoming beyond annoying. Getting too old before my time I guess. -- Andrei Herasimchuk Principal, Involution Studios innovating the digital world e.
