If you attended the SXSW Interactive Festival in March, then you know about the buzz that Twitter created at the event. This buzz has now seeped from the blogosphere to more traditional print media. According to Steven Levy's report in the current issue of Newsweek, "Suddenly, it seems as though all the world's a-twitter. Things reached a tipping point last month at the South by Southwest conference in Austin, Texas. The Twitter people cleverly placed two 60-inch plasma screens in the conference hallways, exclusively streaming Twitter messages. Hundreds of conference-goers kept tabs on each other via constant twitters. Panelists and speakers mentioned the service, and the bloggers in attendance touted it. Soon everyone was buzzing and posting about this new thing that was sort of instant messaging and sort of blogging and maybe even a bit of sending a stream of telegrams." Twitter's success at SXSW is also mentioned in a story titled "Twitter: All Trivia, All the Time" printed in the April 2 issue of BusinessWeek.
