Interactive at SXSW: 140/140 Close-Up
Capture the most interesting moments of the interactive portion of the 2010 SXSW festival for Download Squad, AOL’s site about software and the Web. This assignment is part of Seed’s 140/140 Close-Up series. Read more about it on the Seed Blog.
Each assignment has three parts:
* A post of up to 140 words on one unexpected moment relating to the interactive festival on screen or off.
* A witty headline of up to 140 characters (120 is better) that will be sent out over Twitter.
* A photograph if possible. (Cellphone photos are fine if they are clear and interesting.)
The posts must be completed by people attending the SXSW interactive festival in Austin this year.
