Tweeting (and more) from the Interactive Festival March 7-11

I'll be leaving today for Austin, TX, and this year's South by Southwest Interactive Festival.

As with most years, I've completely overbooked myself, but this is the double-edge sword of interesting conferences: there is more to do and see and hear than two eyes, two ears, and one brain can take in.  I do plan to tweet quite extensively from the conference (follow @GBYehuda if you want to read about it [or unfollow if you don't!]) and you can see my schedule here.

Some of the sessions I'm particularly excited about (though there is no way I can get to all of them):
