Bill Thompson reflects on attending SXSW interactive virtually through Twitter, expressing amazement at how he was able to engage and participate from afar, despite not being physically present.
He compares the experience of following Twitter during the keynote address to the immersive experience of reading a novel, highlighting the depth of engagement possible through the platform.
Thompson acknowledges that while following tweets doesn't replace the physical presence at events, it does create a significant sense of community and shared experience among viewers.
He notes that for those connected to Twitter, the platform allows for real-time feedback and interaction, adding a layer of engagement that traditional media cannot offer.
