With more than 12,000 in attendance, the main hallway at South by Southwest Interactive was always active.
There was a good crop of Midwesterners, both past and present, amongst the more than 12,000 (estimated) attendees at the recent South by Southwest Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas. During the event, we charted nearly forty of them in a Twitter list, and now more than a week later many of them have offered their own reflections and thoughts of the event.
Here are a few of their blog posts, which I think do a nice job of representing the different experiences of South by Southwest (SXSW) attendees.
