There?s a ton of cleanup to do after coming home from a conference?laundry, follow-up emails, business-card filing and dropping swag off at the nearby Goodwill. But following SXSW Interactive 2011, I had a new receptacle to empty and set neat: my smartphone.
Since both Twitter and Foursquare hit their first inflection points at SXSWi (in 2007 and 2009 respectively), location-based app companies have sought to repeat the feat in Austin each spring. And even though I?ll try anything when drunk on new ideas, conference camaraderie and breakfast tacos, using a half-dozen apps to say, ?I?m at Mustang Sally?s-Coffee-Barge? doesn?t make much sense after you get home, when you don?t have to coordinate meeting 12 friends and colleagues in that many hours.
