SXSWi Goes Global on Social Media

By the time South by Southwest Interactive wrapped up earlier this week, it had reached worldwide party status.

More than 1 million tweets in 19 languages flooded the Internet over the course of the five-day conference, representing 205 countries around the world. The U.S. generated a vast majority of the chatter (71%), with the UK and Canada a distant second and third (4.6% and 4.4%, respectively).
