There is no better example of how a start-up can emerge as an industry leader than what happened to Twitter during SXSW 2007. As a sales client, the company took full advantage of their opportunity by positioning themselves around the tech-savvy early adopters present during the SXSW Interactive conference. Twitter, which at the time carried upward of 20,000 tweets a day, broke 60,000 a day during the festival which helped them immediately create a strong base of permanent users.

Tweeting has come to serve a crucial role at the festival, and as the 2010 version approaches, SXSW ranks high among Twitter’s most popular Trending Topics for 2009. According to recently released statistics, SXSW placed third among the most often used hashtags on Twitter this year.

The Trending Topics represent the latest and greatest in the non-stop flow of information on Twitter, and we’re proud to be included. Make sure you follow us on Twitter and contact our sales department for more information on how you can give your brand the awareness it deserves!
