As SXSW Grows,
So Do Its Alternatives
by Paul Klemperer
Audiences also have ambivalent reactions to SXSW. Downtown traffic, always problematic, is horrendous at this time. The clubs are jammed, the sets are too short, and the ticket prices have soared.

Forget SXSW's Rock & Roll...Enjoy Some Jazz by Manuel Gonzales

-- Tommy Wyatt

Interactivity is the essence of new media. It's the ability for the user to engage the content.
-- Dewey Winburne
