afterSXSW - the julia allison twitter story

You know who Julia Allison is right? Well, she came to SXSWi and my twitter feed was dominated by sightings, quotes, and criticisms of the web ingenue. I found it such an odd experience, all probably the worst for her (although this is her own creation), to have everyone marking the every movement of someone who is internet famous strictly because she likes to date tech guys and blogs about it. Hell, I even participated. She became an adjective, a kind of state of being during the event.

Based on the tweets, her weekend at the tech freaknik had a nice little rhythm to it. I'm surprised she wasn't sighted saving a baby, showing her britney, and fighting Mike Tyson all at the same time. Anyway, here's what everyone said:
