GigaOMWhile the
Twitter keynote had SXSW attendees lining up an hour beforehand, with many being turned away from an auditorium fitting thousands, and volunteers flagging every last empty seat for a willing occupant, it wasn't the festival highlight many had hoped. An hour long vague and high level conversation between
Twitter CEO Evan Williams and Havas Media Lab director Umair Haque had listeners yawning, turning to their phones to complain on
Twitter, and outright leaving. As I write three quarters of the way through the session, I'm surrounded by vacated seats.
