I just finished writing up a quick recap of my experiences at South by Southwest Interactive for Urban Omnibus, a project of the Architectural League of New York. I met UO co-editor Varick Shute last summer when she inquired about writing a piece on Project: Interaction. I was thrilled to help out again with a review of SXSWi!

From the recap:

After checking in at the Austin Convention Center using the location-based app Foursquare, it told me the place was “swarming.” I read a little more and discovered that I was there with 377 other people, including four of my friends who also checked in on Foursquare. I shared my location with my Twitter and Facebook friends and snapped a photo of the sun-drenched escalator using the “1977” filter on Instagram. The check-in earned me eight points and I moved up one spot on the leader board. Sweet!

Wait, what?

Read the whole article over at Urban Omnibus, and check out some of the other great stories while you’re there!
